Manganese (Mn) is a biologically important and redox-active metal that may exert a poorly
recognized control on carbon (C) cycling in terrestrial ecosystems. Manganese influences …

Soil organic matter (OM) represents a key C pool for climate regulation but also an essential
component for soil functions and services. Scientific research in the 21st century has …

Mineral-associated organic matter (MAOM) is considered a stable reservoir for soil nutrients
that influences long-term soil carbon (C) and nitrogen (N) dynamics. However, recent …

Identifying controls on soil organic carbon (SOC) storage, and where SOC is most
vulnerable to loss, are essential to managing soils for both climate change mitigation and …

Correlations between organic carbon (OC) and fine mineral particles corroborate the
important role of the abundance of soil minerals with reactive surfaces to bind and increase …

Soil organic matter (SOM) comprises a continuum of organic materials from granular organic
debris to small organic molecules and contains more organic carbon than global vegetation …

Soil organic matter (SOM) is comprised of a diverse array of reactive carbon molecules,
including hydrophilic and hydrophobic compounds, that impact rates of SOM formation and …

Global significance of iron (Fe) and aluminum (Al) for the storage of organic matter (OM) in
soils and surface sediments is increasingly recognized. Yet specific metal phases involved …

Soil organic carbon (SOC) dynamics depend on soil properties derived from the geoclimatic
conditions under which soils develop and are in many cases modified by land conversion …

Minerals preserve the oldest, most persistent soil carbon, and mineral characteristics appear
to play a critical role in the formation of soil organic matter (SOM) associations. To test the …
