Black carbon (BC) is generated as a result of the pyrolysis of biomass and fossil fuels. Different approaches have been taken to analyse BC in the environment, including thermal …
Since the last glacial maximum, soil formation related to ice‐cover shrinkage has been one major sink of carbon accumulating as soil organic matter (SOM), a phenomenon accelerated …

For the assessment of black carbon (BC), its oxidation to benzene polycarboxylic acids (BPCAs) is an established method. However, doubts about biological precursors remain and …
Climate warming has accelerated the retreat of mountain glaciers worldwide, exposing new areas to weathering, vegetation colonization, and soil formation. In light of probable climate …
Cryoconite, the typical sediment found on the surface of glaciers, is mainly known in relation to its role in glacial microbiology and in altering the glacier albedo. But if these aspects are …

Although biochars may provide agricultural benefits, the potential risks related to agricultural dust emissions have not been adequately investigated. This study examines the impact of …
Polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs) were studied in the soils of three proglacial areas in France (Noir and Chardon Glaciers) and Italy (Miage Glacier). PAH contents, PAH stocks …
