Owing to complex pore systems and chemical substances, soil aggregates provide a spatially heterogeneous microenvironment for adsorption capacity and microbial survival. As the widely used pesticide in farmlands, atrazine environmental behavior is not well known at the aggregate scale. In this study, Mollisol soil samples were sieved into four aggregate-size classes: large macroaggregates (>2 mm, LMa), small macroaggregates (1–2 mm, SMa), microaggregates (0.25–1 mm, Mia) and primary particles (<0.25 mm, P). The pore characteristics of each aggregate fraction was visualized by non-invasive X-ray three-dimensional microscopic computed tomography (3D-CT) combined with pore network extraction. The adsorption kinetics of atrazine in each aggregate-size fraction can be described well by a pseudo-second-order kinetic model. The adsorption isothermal process of atrazine can be better fitted by the Langmuir isotherm model than Freundlich isotherm model. There was an obvious linear correlation between the maximum atrazine adsorption capacity and aggregate SOC content as well as TN. In addition, the abundance of bacteria, actinomycetes and anaerobic bacteria in P was totally higher than those in SMa and Mia. Although pH is strongly linked to the bacterial community in the aggregate fraction, aggregate particle size explained 18 % for shaping the microbial community. Therefore, chemical properties and pore characteristics of each soil aggregate fraction both contributed to performance of atrazine adsorption behavior and microbial community.
