In this paper, we propose a structure for organo-mineral associations in soils based on recent insights concerning the molecular structure of soil organic matter (SOM), and on …
In mineral soil, organic matter (OM) accumulates mainly on and around surfaces of silt-and clay-size particles. When fractionated according to particle density, C and N concentration …
Extracellular enzymes degrade complex organic compounds and contribute to carbon turnover in soils. We used physical fractionation procedures to investigate whether soil …
In most ecosystems, the degradation of complex organic material depends on extracellular enzymes produced by microbes. These enzymes can exist in bound or free form within the …
ABSTRACT A polyphasic approach has been developed to gain knowledge of suitable key indicators for the evaluation of environmental impact of genetically modified Bt 11 and Bt …
The aim of this study was to better understand how soil carbon (C) and nitrogen (N) contents and the C: N ratio are related to soil texture, pH, and exchangeable aluminum and calcium …
Organoclays, which are synthesized by introducing organic molecules into the clay structure, have been proven effective for remediation of many contaminants in soil and water. The …
Amino sugars in fungal cell walls (such as chitin) represent an important source of nitrogen (N) in many forest soil ecosystems. Despite the importance of this material in soil nitrogen …
