Iron (Fe) is the fourth most abundant element in the earth's crust and plays important roles in
both biological and chemical processes. The redox reactivity of various Fe (II) forms has …

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 …

Soils represent the largest carbon reservoir within terrestrial ecosystems. The mechanisms
controlling the amount of carbon stored and its feedback to the climate system, however …

This book helps readers understand the fundamental principles and phenomena that control
the transfer of trace elements. It describes the occurrence and behavior of trace elements in …

Paddy soils make up the largest anthropogenic wetlands on earth. They may originate from
any type of soil in pedological terms, but are highly modified by anthropogenic activities. The …

The globally important nature of wetland ecosystems has led to their increased protection
and restoration as well as their use in engineered systems. Underpinning the beneficial …

Electron transfer (redox) reactions, mediated by soil microbiota, modulate elemental cycling
and, in part, establish the redox poise of soil systems. Understanding soil redox processes …

Iron (Fe) phases are tightly linked to the preservation rather than the loss of organic carbon
(OC) in soil; however, during redox fluctuations, OC may be lost due to Fe phase-mediated …

In redox-affected soil environments, electron transfer between aqueous Fe (II) and solid-
phase Fe (III) catalyzes mineral transformation and recrystallization processes. While these …

Iron (Fe)-bearing mineral phases contribute disproportionately to adsorption of soil organic
matter (SOM) due to their elevated chemical reactivity and specific surface area (SSA) …
