Abstract
Aggregate stability depends on soil properties such as organic matter content, type and quantity of clay and poorly crystalline Fe and Al oxide and oxy-hydroxides. Then, the quantification and characterization of forms of Fe and Al are of major importance for understanding soil structure. Particle-size fractions (5-2 µm, 2-1 µm, and < 1µm) from the Ap horizon of an Entic Haplustoll from Argentina, treated with the selective-dissolution techniques ammonium oxalate (OX), dithionite-citrate-bicarbonate (DCB), NaOH, and Napyrophosphate (PY), are studied by X-ray powder diffraction (XRD) and 57Fe Mössbauer spectroscopy (MS). Quartz, feldspar, smectite, illite and interstratified illite-smectite are predominant whereas Fe and Al oxides and oxy-hydroxides are present in low concentration. Al-substituted hematite and poorly crystallized hematite and goethite are present in similar proportions.
