One-quarter of photosynthesis-derived carbon on Earth rapidly cycles through a set of short-
lived seawater metabolites that are generated from the activities of marine phytoplankton …

The biogeochemical cycling of soil organic matter (SOM) plays a central role in regulating
soil health, water quality, carbon storage, and greenhouse gas emissions. Thus, many …

Mass spectrometry (MS) is a convenient, highly sensitive, and reliable method for the
analysis of complex mixtures, which is vital for materials science, life sciences fields such as …

Bacteria play a central role in the cycling of carbon, yet our understanding of the relationship
between the taxonomic composition and the degradation of dissolved organic matter (DOM) …

Adsorption by minerals is a common geochemical process of dissolved organic matter
(DOM) which may induce fractionation of DOM at the mineral-water interface. Here, we …

To study the structure and function of soil organic matter, soil scientists have performed
alkali extractions for soil humic acid (HA) and fulvic acid (FA) fractions for more than 200 …

Marine dissolved organic matter (DOM) is an important component of the global carbon
cycle, yet its intricate composition and the sea salt matrix pose major challenges for …

High‐resolution mass spectrometry (HRMS) has become a vital tool for dissolved organic
matter (DOM) characterization. The upward trend in HRMS analysis of DOM presents …

Traces of life are nearly ubiquitous on Earth. However, a central unresolved question is
whether these traces always indicate an active microbial community or whether, in extreme …

The state of the art of the reported data on interactions between microorganisms and HSs is
presented herein. The properties of HSs are discussed in terms of microbial utilization …
