Water temperature has an important effect on soil aggregate stability. In this study, six soils derived from different parent materials in the hilly region of southern China were selected, and the mean weight diameter (MWD), geometric mean diameter (GMD), and soil erodibility (K value) were measured under different water temperature conditions. The aim of this study was to investigate the influence of water temperature on soil aggregate stability and erodibility. As the water temperature increased from 5 degrees C to 40 degrees C, the average content of >5 mm water-stable aggregates decreased ...
