Minerals are widely assumed to protect organic matter (OM) from degradation in the
environment, promoting the persistence of carbon in soil and sediments. In this Review, we …

Mixed-valent iron [Fe (II)-Fe (III)] minerals such as magnetite and green rust have received a
significant amount of attention over recent decades, especially in the environmental …

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 …

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 …

Tailings generated during processing of sulfide ores represent a substantial risk to water
resources. The oxidation of sulfide minerals within tailings deposits can generate low-quality …

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 …

It has been shown that reactive soil minerals, specifically iron (III)(oxyhydr) oxides, can trap
organic carbon in soils overlying intact permafrost, and may limit carbon mobilization and …

Uncovers the Key Role Microbes Play in the Transformation of Oxidizable and Reducible
MineralsMany areas of geomicrobial processes are receiving serious attention from …

Poorly crystalline Fe (III)(oxyhydr) oxides like ferrihydrite are abundant in soils and
sediments and are often associated with organic matter (OM) in the form of mineral-organic …

Aqueous ferrous iron (Fe (II)) accelerates the transformation of ferrihydrite into secondary,
more crystalline minerals however the factors controlling the rate and, indeed, the …
