Root exudation is an important process determining plant interactions with the soil
environment. Many studies have linked this process to soil nutrient mobilization. Yet, it …

Cadmium (Cd) contamination in rice fields has been recognized as a severe global agro–
environmental issue. To reach the goal of controlling Cd risk, we must pay more attention …

Multiple lines of existing evidence suggest that climate change enhances root exudation of
organic compounds into soils. Recent experimental studies show that increased exudate …

Iron (Fe) minerals play an important role in stabilizing soil organic carbon (SOC). Fe-
mediated SOC protection is mainly achieved through adsorption, co-precipitation, or …

The association of organic matter (OM) with minerals is recognized as the most important
stabilization mechanism for soil organic matter. This study compared the properties of Fe …

As consequence of the dual demands for pollution control and carbon (C) fixation in soils, Fe
(II)-catalyzed mineral transformation may be a promising method to simultaneously …

Terrestrial ecosystems worldwide are receiving increasing amounts of biologically reactive
nitrogen (N) as a consequence of anthropogenic activities. This intended or unintended …

Aqueous Fe (II) is known to catalyze the abiotic transformation of ferrihydrite to more stable
Fe minerals. However, little is known about the impacts of coprecipitated OM on Fe (II) …

Litter decomposition is a keystone ecosystem process impacting nutrient cycling and
productivity, soil properties, and the terrestrial carbon (C) balance, but the factors regulating …

Elevated anthropogenic acid deposition has accelerated forest soil acidification in southern
China. However, the observed responses to increased acid inputs are quite variable among …
