In this article, we provide a critical review on the occurrence, formation, structure and stability
of schwertmannite–an enigmatic Fe (III) oxyhydroxy-sulfate mineral that is of widespread …

Soil organic carbon (SOC) is a crucial component that significantly affects the soil fertility,
soil remediation, and carbon sequestration. Here, we review the redox-induced …

Soils play an essential role in supporting and sustaining life on this planet. In fire-impacted
environments, fire causes considerable changes to the soil, especially in the various …

The presence of toxic substances is one of the major causes of degradation of soil quality.
Wildfires, besides affecting various chemical, physical, and biological soil properties …

As wildfires are of increasing concern in a warming world, there is a need to understand how
fire temperatures affect solute concentrations of forest litter and soils in drinking water …

Iron oxides are important pedogenic Cr (III)-bearing phases which experience high-
temperature alteration via fire-induced heating of surface soil. In this study, we examine if …

Schwertmannite is sensitive to changes in geochemical, thermal, and microbial conditions.
Changes in aqueous pH beyond its stability, ie pH 2.5–4.5, triggers its transformation to …

Arsenic in oxic surface soils readily associates with Fe (III) oxide minerals such as
ferrihydrite and goethite, predominantly as As (V). Fires are a common feature in many …

The surroundings of mines and smelters may be exposed to wildfires, especially in semi-arid
areas. The temperature-dependent releases of metal (loid) s (As, Cd, Cu, Pb, Zn) from …

Wildland-urban interface (WUI) fires consume fuels, such as vegetation and structural
materials, leaving behind ash composed primarily of pyrogenic carbon and metal oxides …
