Dissolved organic matter (DOM) in soils plays an important role in the biogeochemistry of
carbon, nitrogen, and phosphorus, in pedogenesis, and in the transport of pollutants in soils …

Dissolved organic matter (DOM) is defined as the organic matter fraction in solution that
passes through a 0.45 μm filter. Although DOM is ubiquitous in terrestrial and aquatic …

We present a conceptual model of the processes by which plant leaf and root litter is
transformed to soil organic C and CO2. Stabilization of a portion of the litter C yields material …

Many geoscientists now recognize stemflow as an important phenomenon which can exert
considerable effects on the hydrology, biogeochemistry, and ecology of wooded ecosystems …

Soil organic matter (SOM) consists of various functional pools that are stabilized by specific
mechanisms and have certain turnover rates. For the development of mechanistic models …

Sorption of dissolved organic matter (DOM) is considered to be a major process in the
preservation of organic matter (OM) in marine sediments. Evidence for this hypothesis …

In soils, dissolved organic matter (DOM) is probably the most bioavailable fraction of soil
organic matter, since all microbial uptake mechanisms require a water environment …

Quantifying the contribution of dissolved organic matter (DOM) to C sequestration in soils
requires knowledge about extent and rate of its biodegradation. Since degradation …

Despite that dissolved organic matter (DOM) and water-extractable organic matter (WEOM)
represent only a small part of soil organic matter, they appear to be involved in many soil …

The first part of this review focuses on the chemical composition and morphological features
that characterize primary and secondary organic resources for humification. The chemical …
