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 …

Goethite, hematite, ferrihydrite, and other iron oxides bind through various sorption reactions
with humic substances (HS) in soils creating nano-, micro-, and macro-aggregates with a …

Groundwater comprises 95% of the liquid fresh water on Earth and contains a diverse mix of
dissolved organic matter (DOM) molecules which play a significant role in the global carbon …

Despite decades of research progress, ecologists are still debating which pools and fluxes
provide nitrogen (N) to plants and soil microbes across different ecosystems …

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 …

In wetlands, large quantities of dissolved organic matter (DOM) are solubilized under
reducing conditions. Controlled incubations of a wetland soil were performed under oxic and …

Mineral-associated organic matter (OM) represents a large reservoir of organic carbon (OC)
in natural environments. The factors controlling the extent of the mineral-mediated OC …

Aerobic and anaerobic incubation experiments on a wetland soil samples were used to
assess the respective roles of organic matter (OM) release, Fe-oxyhydroxides reduction and …

Carbon-mineral association between iron oxides and dissolved organic carbon (DOC)
occurs ubiquitously in natural environments, and is thus an important control on the transport …

Chitosan, a naturally abundant biopolymer, has widely been studied for metal adsorption
from various aqueous solutions, but the extension of chitosan as an adsorbent to remove …
