[HTML][HTML] Iron-mediated organic matter decomposition in humid soils can counteract protection

C Chen, SJ Hall, E Coward, A Thompson - Nature communications, 2020 - nature.com
Soil organic matter (SOM) is correlated with reactive iron (Fe) in humid soils, but Fe also
promotes SOM decomposition when oxygen (O2) becomes limited. Here we quantify Fe …
