Microbially induced calcium carbonate precipitation (MICP) has attracted great attention
recently for its ability to improve the mechanical properties of soils. Calcium carbonate …

Soil organic matter (SOM) comprises a continuum of organic materials from granular organic
debris to small organic molecules and contains more organic carbon than global vegetation …

Water plays a critical role in erosion and sediment transport and this relationship is most
evident in the hyperarid Atacama Desert of Northern Chile, a region characterized by …

Transient appearances of oxygen have been inferred before the Great Oxygenation Event
(GOE)[∼ 2.3 billion years (Ga) ago] based on redox-sensitive elements such as Mo and S …

Soil, the largest terrestrial carbon reservoir, is central to climate change and relevant
feedback to environmental health. Minerals are the essential components that contribute to …

Earth has a prolonged history characterized by substantial cycling of matter and energy
between multiple spheres. The production of organic carbon can be traced back to as early …

High-pressure dehydration of serpentinite during subduction generates fluids that flux and
melt the overlying mantle wedge, forming primary arc basalts. These basalts are …

The positive correlation between total organic carbon and specific surface area in sediments
and mudstones implies the association between sedimentary organic matter (OM) and clay …

Based on the focus on the role of reservoirs as carbon sources and sinks, this article
explores their impact on the global carbon cycle. Reservoirs, which are “artificial lakes” …

Organic matter degradation and preservation are crucial components of Earth's carbon
cycle. Empirical and phenomenological models usually contain parameters determined by …
