Adverse effects of microplastics on soil abiotic properties have been attributed to changes in
the soil structure. Notably, however, the effects on the supramolecular structure of soil …

Do humic substances exist naturally? Recently, this question has taken relevance in light of
new evidence that supports the theory that soil organic matter (SOM) is an assembly of …

Background Knowledge of the stabilizing mechanisms of soil organic matter (SOM) is
extremely important for numerous soil functions. For this, insight into the nature of organic …

Lignite and lignite humic acids, which are used as soil amendments sometimes, are
supposed to improve soil properties such as water holding capacity. The structure of those …

Engineered and anthropogenic nanoparticles represent a new type of pollutants. Up until
now, many studies have reported its adverse effect on biota, but the potential influence on …

Molecular processes in nature affect human health, the availability of resources and the
Earth's climate. Molecular modelling is a powerful and versatile toolbox that complements …

Understanding the composition of the soil solution of tropical peatlands is important because
it directly affects nutrient availability and environmental degradation. The objectives of this …

Soil organic matter (SOM) and various inorganic minerals represent key components of
soils. During pedogenesis and due to biological activity these species interact, having a …

Adsorption is the main mechanism of capturing water in soil organic matter (SOM) under arid
conditions. This process is governed by hydrophilic sites, which are gradually bridged via …

Purpose Nutrient release, soil wettability, water binding, and matrix rigidity of soil organic
matter (SOM) can be affected by cross-links between segments of SOM, cations, and water …
