Excerpt from Soil Aggregate Formation
Since certain other groups of soil microorganisms break down these organic colloids as they are formed, it is necessary to maintain a con tinuous supply of fresh organic matter in the soil if a high state of ag gregation is to continue. This can be accomplished by using sod cover or mulches to which fresh materials are added frequently.
