In recent years, there has been considerable progress in determining the soil properties that
influence the structure of the soil microbiome. By contrast, the effects of microorganisms on …

Calcareous sands have abundant intraparticle pores and are prone to particle breakage.
This often leads to poor engineering properties, which poses a challenge to coastal …

Microbially-induced calcium carbonate precipitation (MICP) can enhance the stiffness and
bulk strength of sand aggregates via calcium carbonate cementation. This study explores …

Subsoils of calcareous soils are often characterized by pedogenic carbonate precipitates
coating soil aggregate and rock surfaces. Numerous studies identified the key mechanisms …

Microbial-induced carbonate precipitation is important in the global carbon cycle, especially
in fixing atmospheric CO 2. Many simulation experiments have shown that microbes can …

Aggregate stability, an indicator of soil structural resistance to mechanical forces, depends
upon the strength of binding substances within the aggregate. Adhesion of calcium (Ca 2+) …

In drylands, soil inorganic carbon (SIC) represents the largest terrestrial carbon sink, and
observational studies indicate a negative relationship and possible trade-off between SIC …

As a dust suppression method, microbial-induced calcium carbonate precipitation
technology based on urease-producing bacteria has been widely used on roads; however …

Microbial-induced calcite precipitation (MICP) is an effective way to stabilize soils, but the
microscopic mechanism is unclear. Discrete element method (DEM) models of the …

Rounded to sub-rounded calcrete nodules, preserved in Youngest Toba Tuff (YTT,~ 75 ka)
ash, exposed at the Padang Terap river basin and Lenggong valley of Malaysia, have been …
