Soil organic matter (SOM) and the carbon and nutrients therein drive fundamental
submicron-to global-scale biogeochemical processes and influence carbon-climate …

Our understanding of the interactions between minerals, organic matter, and
microorganisms at so-called biogeochemical interfaces in soil is still hampered by the …

Clay minerals are important reactive centers in the soil system. Their interactions with
microorganisms are ubiquitous and wide-ranging, affecting growth and function, interactions …

At present, there has been renewed interest in biochar research, but most of them were
focused on the short-term effects of biochar and the information of long-term application of …

Clay minerals and metal oxides, as important parts of the soil matrix, play crucial roles in the
development of microbial communities. However, the mechanism underlying such a …

Phosphorus (P) deficiency limits agricultural productivity in many tropical and subtropical
soils. The aim of this study was to investigate the influences of typical mineral components …

Submicron-sized iron oxide particles can influence the activity of bacteria, but the exact
mechanisms of oxide toxicity toward bacteria remain elusive. By using atomic force …

Along a long-term ecosystem development gradient, soil nutrient contents and mineralogical
properties change, therefore probably altering soil microbial communities. However …

Microbial carbon fixation has been proved to play a key role in soil carbon accumulation in
arid desert oasis, but the fixation mechanism remains unclear. To solve it, we used …

Polyethylene terephthalate (PET) pollution has significant environmental consequences;
thus, new degradation methods must be explored to mitigate this problem. We previously …
