Microaggregates in soils
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 …

Mineral–organic associations: formation, properties, and relevance in soil environments
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 …

Rhizosphere: biophysics, biogeochemistry and ecological relevance
Life on Earth is sustained by a small volume of soil surrounding roots, called the
rhizosphere. The soil is where most of the biodiversity on Earth exists, and the rhizosphere …
