Predicting and mitigating changes in soil carbon (C) stocks under global change requires a
coherent understanding of the factors regulating soil organic matter (SOM) formation and …

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 …

Associations between soil minerals and microbially derived organic matter (often referred to
as mineral‐associated organic matter or MAOM) form a large pool of slowly cycling carbon …

There is growing evidence that many nitrogen-and phosphorus-containing organic
compounds in soils have on average a higher affinity for adsorption to mineral surfaces than …

The modification of soil organic matter (SOM) decomposition by plant carbon (C) input
(priming effect) represents a critical biogeochemical process that controls soil C dynamics …

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 …

Iron (Fe) oxides are widely recognized to prevent the degradation of organic matter (OM) in
environments, thereby promoting the persistence of organic carbon (OC) in soils. Thus …

The capacity of soil as a carbon (C) sink is mediated by interactions between organic matter
and mineral phases. However, previously proposed layered accumulation of organic matter …

It has been shown that reactive soil minerals, specifically iron (III)(oxyhydr) oxides, can trap
organic carbon in soils overlying intact permafrost, and may limit carbon mobilization and …

The loss of organic matter (OM) from soil during long-term agricultural crop** results in a
decrease in the inherent fertility of the soil as well as releasing greenhouse gases. Despite …
