Soil aggregate stability and erodibility in urban riparian zone: a case study of the River Tour Company in Wuhan, China

The samples were taken from three representative sites (Wutaizha, WTZ; Huoshui Park, HSP; Sanchakou, SCK) reflecting different urban activities in riparian zone of River Tour Company in Wuhan, China. Soil physicochemical properties at different spatial locations (sampling site, slope position, and soil depth) were measured. Then, soil aggregate stability indices including mean weight diameter (MWD), geometric mean diameter (GMD), and erodibility factor (K) were calculated.
