Background Soil organic matter (SOM) supports multiple soil ecosystem functions,
underpinned by processes such as C sequestration, N mineralization, aggregation …

Vanadium is a metal that receives increasing attention due to its possible toxicity and its
increased use in society, ie in high-grade steel and in vanadium redox-flow batteries …

Accurate prediction of the sorption of perfluoroalkyl substances (PFASs) in soils is essential
for environmental risk assessment. We investigated the effect of solution pH and calculated …

Iron (Fe) bioavailability depends upon its solubility and oxidation state, which are strongly
influenced by complexation with natural organic matter (NOM). Despite observations of Fe …

An improved quantitative and qualitative understanding of the interaction of per-and
polyfluoroalkyl substances (PFASs) and short-range ordered Fe (hydr) oxides is crucial for …

Vanadium (V), although serving as an important component of industrial activities, has
bioinorganic implications to pose highly toxic hazards to humans and animals. Soils and …

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 …

Formation of ternary complexes between arsenic (As) oxyanions and ferric iron (Fe)
complexes of humic substances (HS) is often hypothesized to represent a major mechanism …

Chromium is a common soil contaminant, and it often exists as chromium (III). However,
limited information exists on the coordination chemistry and stability of chromium (III) …

Transport of lead (II) and copper (II) ions in soil is affected by the soil phosphorus status. Part
of the explanation may be that phosphate increases the adsorption of copper (II) and lead (II) …
