Iron-mediated organic matter decomposition in humid soils can counteract protection

C Chen, SJ Hall, E Coward, A Thompson - Nature communications, 2020 - nature.com
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 …

Sphagnum increases soil's sequestration capacity of mineral-associated organic carbon via activating metal oxides

Y Zhao, C Liu, X Li, L Ma, G Zhai, X Feng - Nature Communications, 2023 - nature.com
Sphagnum wetlands are global hotspots for carbon storage, conventionally attributed to the
accumulation of decay-resistant litter. However, the buildup of mineral-associated organic …

Distinct, direct and climate‐mediated environmental controls on global particulate and mineral‐associated organic carbon storage

PM Hansen, R Even, AE King, J Lavallee… - Global Change …, 2024 - Wiley Online Library
Identifying controls on soil organic carbon (SOC) storage, and where SOC is most
vulnerable to loss, are essential to managing soils for both climate change mitigation and …

Iron mineral dissolution releases iron and associated organic carbon during permafrost thaw

MS Patzner, CW Mueller, M Malusova, M Baur… - Nature …, 2020 - nature.com
It has been shown that reactive soil minerals, specifically iron (III)(oxyhydr) oxides, can trap
organic carbon in soils overlying intact permafrost, and may limit carbon mobilization and …

What do we know about soil carbon destabilization?

VL Bailey, CH Pries, K Lajtha - Environmental Research Letters, 2019 - iopscience.iop.org
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 …
