Air-drying and wetting of air-dried soil samples with water (ie, rewetting) are widely used
sample treatments in soil analyses. It is recognized that both air-drying and rewetting of soil …

Application of ultrasound to disperse soil aggregates has been critical in enabling
researchers to separate and analyze aggregate building blocks that include organic and …

Adsorption by minerals is a common geochemical process of dissolved organic matter
(DOM) which may induce fractionation of DOM at the mineral-water interface. Here, we …

Linkages between soil structure and physical–chemical soil properties are still poorly
understood due to the wide size-range at which aggregation occurs and the variety of …

Aggregation assembles different size mixtures of soil particles into a larger architecture.
Such mixtures impede resolving which particles build aggregates and how these control the …

Soil organic carbon (SOC) stock can be improved through the return of crop residues.
However, the efficiency of C sequestered in soil (ie, ΔSOC/ΔC input) might differ among crop …

Interactions between dissolved organic matter (DOM) and iron oxyhydroxides have
important environmental and geochemical implications. The present study employed two …

Dissolved organic matter (DOM) in the natural environment has a significant effect on the
biogeochemical cycles of iron (Fe), such as adsorption and reduction reaction. However, the …

In tropical and subtropical soils, sesquioxides and soil organic matter (SOM) are major
binding agents for aggregates. However, the biotic and abiotic contributions to aggregation …

The mechanism of soil structure stabilization has been rarely investigated from the
perspectives of both soil material composition and porosity due to the complexity of soil …
