Wet-chemical extraction of soil is a standard procedure to characterise pedogenic
aluminium (Al) and iron (Fe) species, especially oxides, allophanic minerals and metal …

The Podzol has been elected “Soil of the year 2007” in Germany. This article reviews the
present knowledge on the development, functions, and threats of Podzols. The main …

Contemporary soil science and conservation methods of effective forestry Forests and the
soils that serve as their foundation cover almost a third of the world's land area. Soils …

Soil organic matter (OM) can be stabilized against decomposition by association with
minerals, by its inherent recalcitrance and by occlusion in aggregates. However, the relative …

" Upholding the high standard of quality set by the previous edition, this two-volume second
edition offers a vast array of recent peer-reviewed articles. It showcases research and …

On a sequence of soils developed under similar vegetation, temperature, and precipitation
conditions, but with variations in mineralogical properties, we use organic carbon and 14C …

The mobility of Al and Fe in acidic sandy forest soils is greatly influenced by interactions with
dissolved organic matter (DOM). We determined the distribution of Al, Fe (II) and Fe (III) over …

Low molecular weight (LMW) organic acids are believed to play a key role in many
rhizosphere and pedogenic processes; However, their efficiency is likely to depend on their …

Total and 0.2 M HCl-soluble concentrations of 44 mineral elements were studied in four
profiles (0–110 cm) of a Haplic Podzol, developed from a 13,000–14,000-year-old quartzite …

Organic acids have been hypothesised to play a central role in long-term soil pedogenic
processes such as podzolisation and also in short-term rhizosphere processes such as …
