Much research focuses on increasing carbon storage in mineral-associated organic matter
(MAOM), in which carbon may persist for centuries to millennia. However, MAOM-targeted …

All soils harbor microaggregates, ie, compound soil structures smaller than 250 µm. These
microaggregates are composed of diverse mineral, organic and biotic materials that are …

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 …

Soil organic matter can release carbon dioxide to the atmosphere as the climate warms.
Organic matter sorbed to reactive (iron-and aluminium-bearing) soil minerals is an important …

Soil organic nitrogen (N) is a critical resource for plants and microbes, but the processes that
govern its cycle are not well-described. To promote a holistic understanding of soil N …

Dietary deficiency of selenium is a global health threat related to low selenium
concentrations in crops. Despite the chemical similarity of selenium to the two more …

Moisture response functions for soil microbial carbon (C) mineralization remain a critical
uncertainty for predicting ecosystem-climate feedbacks. Theory and models posit that C …

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 …

Coastal wetlands host large and dynamic reservoirs of organic carbon (C) and are also
biogeochemical hotspots for a wide range of Fe (hydr-) oxides with different chemical …

Oscillating redox conditions are a common feature of humid tropical forest soils, driven by an
ample supply and dynamics of reductants, high moisture, microbial oxygen consumption …
