Iron (Fe) is the fourth most abundant element in the earth's crust and plays important roles in
both biological and chemical processes. The redox reactivity of various Fe (II) forms has …

Interfacial reactions drive all elemental cycling on Earth and play pivotal roles in human
activities such as agriculture, water purification, energy production and storage …

Soil organic matter (SOM) is correlated with reactive iron (Fe) in humid soils, but Fe also
promotes SOM decomposition when oxygen (O2) becomes limited. Here we quantify Fe …

Mixed-valent iron [Fe (II)-Fe (III)] minerals such as magnetite and green rust have received a
significant amount of attention over recent decades, especially in the environmental …

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 …

Despite substantial experimental evidence of electron transfer, atom exchange, and
mineralogical transformation during the reaction of Fe (II) aq with synthetic Fe (III) minerals …

In this article, we provide a critical review on the occurrence, formation, structure and stability
of schwertmannite–an enigmatic Fe (III) oxyhydroxy-sulfate mineral that is of widespread …

Life and element cycling on Earth is directly related to electron transfer (or redox) reactions.
An understanding of biogeochemical redox processes is crucial for predicting and protecting …

Iron (Fe) oxides are widely recognized to prevent the degradation of organic matter (OM) in
environments, thereby promoting the persistence of organic carbon (OC) in soils. Thus …

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 …
