The functions of soils are intimately linked to their three‐dimensional pore space and the
associated biogeochemical interfaces, mirrored in the complex structure that developed …

The soil microhabitat is a heterogeneous and complex environment where local variations
can modulate phenomena observed at the plot scale. Most of the current methods used to …

Spatial heterogeneity is a pervasive feature of soils, affecting the distribution of carbon
sources as well as their microbial consumers. Heterogeneous addition of substrates typically …

Essential soil functions such as plant productivity, C storage, nutrient cycling and the storage
and purification of water all depend on soil biological processes. Given this insight, it is …

This article discusses the co-evolution of soil structure and function during the process of soil
formation. It emphasizes the importance of understanding the relationship between soil …

Quantifying the spatial distribution of soil erodibility (K factor) in the Qinghai-Tibet Plateau is
essential for global soil erosion management. However, many K factor maps have a coarse …

Soil structure is a dynamic property of soils, which refers to temporal changes in the spatial
arrangement of pores, organic matter, and minerals. Its turnover, ie the irreversible …

Terrestrial plant and soil organic carbon stocks are critical for regulating climate change,
enhancing soil fertility, and supporting biodiversity. While a global-scale decoupling …

Soil structure in terms of the spatial arrangement of pores and solids is highly relevant for
most physical and biochemical processes in soil. While this was known for a long time, a …

Fe (hydr) oxides have a substantial impact on the structure and stability of soil organic
carbon (SOC) pools and also drive organic carbon turnover processes via reduction …
