In previous works, Aristilde and her team explored how clay minerals bind organic matter and how soil microbes preferentially turn non-sugar organics into carbon dioxide. In the new study, Aristilde's ...
Iron in the ground has quietly been doing climate work for centuries, binding carbon in soils so effectively that it can stay there for generations. New research is now unpacking how these minerals ...
The intricate roles of soil microorganisms in ecological processes such as organic matter decomposition, nutrient cycling, ...
In a recent study published in Scientific Reports, researchers examined the relationship between soil mineral content and health status among the pediatric and adult female populations of India. Study ...
Scientists know iron oxide minerals store large amounts of carbon in soils, but lack a detailed, quantitative understanding of the specific chemical mechanisms that allow them to bind such a wide ...
