Unlocking complex soil systems as carbon sinks: multi-pool management as the key
Much research focuses on increasing carbon storage in mineral-associated organic matter
(MAOM), in which carbon may persist for centuries to millennia. However, MAOM-targeted …

Dynamic interactions at the mineral–organic matter interface
Minerals are widely assumed to protect organic matter (OM) from degradation in the
environment, promoting the persistence of carbon in soil and sediments. In this Review, we …

Microaggregates in soils
All soils harbor microaggregates, ie, compound soil structures smaller than 250 µm. These
microaggregates are composed of diverse mineral, organic and biotic materials that are …

Fenton chemistry and reactive oxygen species in soil: Abiotic mechanisms of biotic processes, controls and consequences for carbon and nutrient cycling
Although most organic matter (OM) in soil is mineralized by microorganisms, the
nonmicrobial processes, eg, Fenton reactions and photo-degradation, strongly contribute to …

A three-year experiment confirms continuous immobilization of cadmium and lead in contaminated paddy field with biochar amendment
R Bian, S Joseph, L Cui, G Pan, L Li, X Liu… - Journal of hazardous …, 2014 - Elsevier
Heavy metal contamination in croplands has been a serious concern because of its high
health risk through soil-food chain transfer. A field experiment was conducted in 2010–2012 …

Biogeochemistry of paddy soils
Paddy soils make up the largest anthropogenic wetlands on earth. They may originate from
any type of soil in pedological terms, but are highly modified by anthropogenic activities. The …

Elevated moisture stimulates carbon loss from mineral soils by releasing protected organic matter
Moisture response functions for soil microbial carbon (C) mineralization remain a critical
uncertainty for predicting ecosystem-climate feedbacks. Theory and models posit that C …

Active iron phases regulate the abiotic transformation of organic carbon during redox fluctuation cycles of paddy soil
Iron (Fe) phases are tightly linked to the preservation rather than the loss of organic carbon
(OC) in soil; however, during redox fluctuations, OC may be lost due to Fe phase-mediated …

What do we know about soil carbon destabilization?
Most empirical and modeling research on soil carbon (C) dynamics has focused on those
processes that control and promote C stabilization. However, we lack a strong …
