ABSTRACT
The influence of the microbiological activity on the soil aggregate stability of a silty Chernozem was investigated by promoting the microbial activity through D-glucose solution. After 2 weeks of incubation the microbial activity reached 300 % of the initial value, whereas the soil aggregate stability was triplicated. The effect of aggregate stabilization by fungal biomass was higher than the one due to bacterial biomass.
