Dynamic interactions at the mineral–organic matter interface
Minerals are widely assumed to protect organic matter (OM) from degradation in the
environment, promoting the persistence of carbon in soil and sediments. In this Review, we …

Soil organic carbon storage as a key function of soils-A review of drivers and indicators at various scales
M Wiesmeier, L Urbanski, E Hobley, B Lang… - Geoderma, 2019 - Elsevier
The capacity of soils to store organic carbon represents a key function of soils that is not only
decisive for climate regulation but also affects other soil functions. Recent efforts to assess …

Fast-decaying plant litter enhances soil carbon in temperate forests but not through microbial physiological traits
Conceptual and empirical advances in soil biogeochemistry have challenged long-held
assumptions about the role of soil micro-organisms in soil organic carbon (SOC) dynamics; …

Iron-mediated organic matter decomposition in humid soils can counteract protection
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 …

Soil structure as an indicator of soil functions: A review
Since many processes in soil are highly sensitive to soil structure, this review intends to
evaluate the potential of observable soil structural attributes to be used in the assessment of …

Interactions between organic matter and Fe (hydr) oxides and their influences on immobilization and remobilization of metal (loid) s: a review
Y Bao, NS Bolan, J Lai, Y Wang, X Jin… - Critical Reviews in …, 2022 - Taylor & Francis
Fe (hydr) oxides and organic matter (OM) are two of the main active substances ubiquitously
occurring in natural environments. Fe (hydr) oxides rarely exist as a discrete component in …
