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 …

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 …

A novel preparation protocol for synthetic, look-a-like humic substances (ie, fulvic and humic
acids) simulating geochemical processes through hydrothermal reaction is presented, with …

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 …

Traditionally, the selective preservation of certain recalcitrant organic compounds and the
formation of recalcitrant humic substances have been regarded as an important mechanism …

Striking similarities and sharp contrasts exist between the geochemistries of organic matter
in surface soils and marine sediments. The contrasts result in part from physical differences …

The main process by which dissolved organic matter (DOM) is retained in forest soils is likely
to be sorption in the mineral horizons that adds to stabilized organic matter (OM) pools. The …

Soil structure represents a mosaic of microenvironments differing in their physical, chemical
and biological properties. At a microscale level, such structural organisation consequently …
