Manganese (Mn) is a biologically important and redox-active metal that may exert a poorly
recognized control on carbon (C) cycling in terrestrial ecosystems. Manganese influences …

Soil organic carbon (SOC) is a crucial component that significantly affects the soil fertility,
soil remediation, and carbon sequestration. Here, we review the redox-induced …

The key limiting factors in the treatment of low C/N micropolluted water bodies are deficient
essential electron donors for nitrogen removal processes. An iron/activated carbon aquagel …

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 …

Soil carbon dynamics is strongly controlled by depth globally, with increasingly slow
dynamics found at depth. The mechanistic basis remains however controversial, limiting our …

Soil nitrogen (N) often limits productivity in agroecosystems, prompting fertilizer applications
that increase crop yields but can degrade the environment. Nitrogen's dual role in both …

Oxidative decomposition of polystyrene (PS) by insects has been previously demonstrated,
yet little is known about the oxidation mechanism and its effect on the metabolism of plastics …

Despite the essential role of litter decomposition in carbon (C) and nutrient cycle in terrestrial
ecosystems, some uncertainties remain about how this fundamental process is affected by …

Turning biomass into biochar via pyrolysis followed by its amendment into soil is regarded
as a prospective strategy of sequestrating atmospheric carbon and simultaneously aiding …

Most studies concerning soil microorganisms and enzymes are focused on the upper
horizons of the soil profile even though they transform soil organic matter at every depth of …
