Tisdall, J.Smith, S.Rengasamy, P.2007-05-102007-05-101997Soil Research, 1997; 35(1):55-600004-95731446-568Xhttp://hdl.handle.net/2440/27420<jats:p>Several authors have proposed that soils are made up of aggregates of various sizes, stabilised by different organic and inorganic materials. Fungal hyphae have been shown to bind microaggregates (&lt;250 µm diameter) into macroaggregates (&gt;250 µm diameter). This paper examines the aggregation of soil clay by saprophytic ( Rhizoctonia solani and Hyalodendron sp.) and mycorrhizal ( Hymenoscyphus ericae and Hebeloma sp.) fungi. The results support the hypothesis that fungal hyphae bring mineral particles and organic materials together to form stable microaggregates at least &lt;2µm, and enmesh microaggregates into stable aggregates &gt;50 µm diameter.</jats:p>enAggregation of soil by fungal hyphaeJournal article003000263610.1071/S96065A1997WD005000052-s2.0-003061950466642Rengasamy, P.
