Minerals and organic matter (OM) may form intricate associations via myriad interactions. In
soils, the associations of OM with mineral surfaces are mainly investigated because of their …

Iron (Fe) minerals play an important role in stabilizing soil organic carbon (SOC). Fe-
mediated SOC protection is mainly achieved through adsorption, co-precipitation, or …

Soils play an essential role in the global cycling of carbon and understanding the
stabilisation mechanisms behind the preservation of soil organic carbon (SOC) pools is of …

In recent years, toxic pollution from heavy metal (loid) s in soil has become a severe
environmental problem worldwide. The migration and transformation of heavy metal (loid) s …

Soil structure exerts important influences on the edaphic conditions and the environment. It
is often expressed as the degree of stability of aggregates. Aggregation results from the …

The decomposition and accumulation of organic materials in submerged (anaerobic) soils
and sediments differ considerably from those in their aerobic counterparts. This is caused by …

Ferric oxyhydroxides play an important role in controlling the bioavailability of oxyanions
such as arsenate and phosphate in soil. Despite this, little is known about the properties and …

Iron (Fe) minerals constitute a major control on organic carbon (OC) storage in soils and
sediments. While previous research has mainly targeted Fe (oxyhydr) oxides, the impact of …

Dissolved organic matter (DOM) is an important constituent of soil solution that plays a role
in many chemical and biological processes in soils. Tremendous strides have been made in …

Argentina is one of the major producers of soybean in the world, this generates a high global
demand for this crop leading to find it everywhere, even close to human activities involving …
