Vibrational spectroscopy techniques provide a powerful approach to the study of
environmental materials and processes. These multifunctional analytical tools can be used …

Sažetak The present review highlights the recent applications of mid-infrared spectroscopy
and in particular of diffuse reflectance spectroscopy (DRIFT) and attenuated total reflectance …

This study assessed specific peaks obtained by diffuse reflectance Fourier transform mid‐
infrared spectroscopy (DRIFTS) for characterizing the soil organic matter (SOM) composition …

Since the last glacial maximum, soil formation related to ice‐cover shrinkage has been one
major sink of carbon accumulating as soil organic matter (SOM), a phenomenon accelerated …

Soils are the product of a complex suite of chemical, biological, and physical processes. In
spite of the importance of soils for society and for sustaining life on earth, our knowledge of …

Soil organic matter (SOM) loss due to intensive cultivation is the focus of studies on climate
change and food security. Dropping tillage intensity has been widely reported as a potential …

Several studies have reported how tillage and cropping systems affect quantity, quality, and
distribution of soil organic matter (SOM) along the profile. However, the effect of soil …

Worldwide, mountain glaciers are shrinking rapidly. Consequently, large areas are
becoming available for the development of novel alpine ecosystems. These harsh …

Soils represent a very complex material where mineral, organic and biological components
interact together to form a large 'biogeochemical interface'. In order to study this complex …

The near-surface saturated hydraulic conductivity (K sat) is an important hydrological
characteristic because it determines surface infiltration rates and the vertical and lateral …
