Аннотация:The organic matter of water-stable macro- (2–1 mm) and free microaggregates (<0.25 mm) isolated from the 2–1 mm air-dry macroaggregates of Haplic Chernozem in the contrasting land use variants was studied by granulo-desitometric fractionation. It was revealed that water-stable free microaggregates are only parts of disintegrated macroaggregates. The composition of microaggregates unstable under the sonication (mWSA) within structural units of different sizes (macro- (WSAma) and microaggregates (WSAmi)) has been studied in detail. The composition of mWSA within WSA of different size is completely identical; they differ only in size, quantity, and packing density. Within WSAmi, the size and quantity of mWSA are by 1.7-and 1130-fold smaller than those within WSAma. The packing density of mWSAma is 1.5-fold less than that of mWSAmi.
