The document compares pore characteristics of soil aggregates from conventional row-crop agriculture (CT) and native succession vegetation (NS). X-ray microtomography was used to scan aggregates from both land uses. Analysis found that CT aggregates had significantly greater porosity and more complex pore networks than NS aggregates. However, NS aggregates had larger pores and pore networks that were more widely spaced, indicating greater variability in accessibility for air, water, and microbes.
