•Soil aggregate stability in shady slope was more sensitive to freeze-thaw cycles.•Well relationships exist between the aggregate fractions and available phosphorus.•Soil organic matter of partial aggregate sizes were sensitive to freeze-thaw cycles. Freeze-thaw is an important factor that affects s...
