Background and aimsSoil stability is a key ecosystem function provided by agricultural landscapes. A multitude of influential factors such as soil texture and plant community structure have been suggested, but few studies compare the relative importance of these factors for soil stability in the field. In addition, studies on effects of plant traits on soil stability have ignored intraspecific trait variability despite growing evidence of its importance for ecosystem functioning.
