Soil carbonates (ie, soil inorganic carbon or SIC) represent more than a quarter of the
terrestrial carbon pool and are often considered to be relatively stable, with fluxes significant …

An improved understanding of present-day climate variability and change relies on high-

Wind erosion produces textural changes on topsoil of semiarid and arid environments;
however, the selection of particles on different textured soils is unclear. Our objectives were …

Wind-blown dust from southern South America links the terrestrial, marine, atmospheric, and
