[Objective] The distribution characteristics of soil aggregates in typical relocation sites of Shanghai City were analyzed in order to provide technical support for soil afforestation in relocation sites. [Methods] Taking the soils of two typical relocation sites at urban villages and industrial enterprises as the research objects, 27 soil samples of typical relocation sites were collected, and dry-sieving and wet-sieving methods were used to determine soil non-water stable aggregates and water stable aggregates, respectively. And the distribution characteristics of soil aggregates in relocation sites were analyzed through single-factor analysis of variance. The differences of soil aggregates in different relocation sites were analyzed, and the correlations between soil aggregates and the basic physical and chemical properties of soil were analyzed. [Results] The soil non-water stable aggregates were mainly large aggregates with particle size ≥2.0 mm, accounting for 64.9%. Soil water-stable aggregates were dominated by micro-aggregates with particle size ＜ 0.106 mm, accounting for 73.4%. The destruction rate of soil aggregates was 79.8%. Soil non-water stable aggregates (particle size ≥0.25 mm) in the relocation site of urban village were significantly higher than that in the relocation site of industrial enterprises (p＜0.05), but there was no significant difference in water-stable aggregates. The soil aggregate damage rate of industrial enterprises was significantly higher than that in the relocation sites of urban villages (p＜0.05). The soil aggregate damage rate was significantly positively correlated with soil bulk density, while significantly negatively correlated with soil field capacity, total porosity and organic matter (p＜0.01). [Conclusion] The overall soil aggregate structure in the relocation site of the Shanghai City is poor, and the soil aggregate damage rate is high, but the soil aggregate structure and stability of the urban village is better than that of the industrial enterprises. The soil aggregate damage rate is mainly affected by soil bulk density, field capacity, total porosity and organic matter.
