Increase in Pore Space Is Desirable for Soil
Pore space enhances air and water availability in soil. Organic matter and root activity shape aggregation, with crops like alfalfa and timothy boosting root mass. cropland shows virgin soil at 60 percent pore space dropping to 50 percent after cropping, reducing drainage and root access.

Influence of Fresh and Rotten Organic Matter on Soil Aggregation
An experiment shows fresh corn at 2 percent yields 98 percent soil aggregation in 30 days, while rotted corn gives only 2.3 percent. Fresh alfalfa reaches 77 percent aggregation, and a mix of rotten corn with alfalfa gives 1.54 percent. The results suggest organic matter quality, not just amount, drives aggregation through microbe action.
