Soil parent material—A major driver of plant nutrient limitations in terrestrial ecosystems
Because the capability of terrestrial ecosystems to fix carbon is constrained by nutrient
availability, understanding how nutrients limit plant growth is a key contemporary question …

Soil organic matter is stabilized by organo-mineral associations through two key processes: The role of the carbon to nitrogen ratio
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 …

Global patterns of nitrate isotope composition in rivers and adjacent aquifers reveal reactive nitrogen cascading
Remediation of nitrate pollution of Earth's rivers and aquifers is hampered by cumulative
biogeochemical processes and nitrogen sources. Isotopes (δ 15N, δ 18O) help unravel …
