In all the theories presented on aggregate formation, organic matter and aggregate stability plays a major role in the formation and Due to the dynamics of organic matter in soil formation and stability of aggregates is dynamic, So that the entry of organic matter to the soil formation and stability of aggregates increases and Reducing the amount of organic matter formation and aggregate stability decreases.
