Soil aeration maintains oxygen levels in the plants' root zone, needed for microbial and root respiration, and important to plant growth. Additionally, oxygen levels regulate soil temperatures and play a role in some chemical processes that support the oxidation of elements like Mn 2+ and Fe 2+ that can be toxic.

Very coarse or very thick: >10 mm platy, granular; >50 mm blocky; >100 mm prismlike. Grades: Is a measure of the degree of development or cementation within the peds that results in their strength and stability. Weak: Weak cementation allows peds to fall apart into the three textural constituents, sand, silt and clay.
