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 …

This contribution critically reviews the state of knowledge on interactions of natural colloids
and engineered nanoparticles with natural dissolved organic materials (DOM). These …

There is a growing concern about climate change, and soils have attracted significant
research attention as a sink for atmospheric CO 2. Mechanisms of soil organic carbon (SOC) …

Biochar has unveiled a new avenue for carbon (C) sequestration and has shown the
potential to increase agricultural productivity. Although there is still debate about the …

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 …

Formation and Properties of Clay-Polymer Complexes provides a comprehensive account of
the reactions between clay minerals and organic polymers. The book opens with a …

Iron is a source of interference in the spectroscopic analysis of dissolved organic matter
(DOM); however, its effects on commonly employed ultraviolet and visible (UV–vis) light …

Modern conceptual models of soil organic carbon (SOC) cycling focus heavily on the
microbe-mineral interactions that regulate C stabilization. However, the formation of …
