Colloidal nanoparticles naturally occur in soil and are crucial geochemical carriers of heavy metal pollutants (e.g., Cu, Cd, and Pb) by altering their mobility in the soil-water system (X. Li et al., 2024). This mobility is mainly controlled by the contents of soil organic matter, iron hydroxides, and colloidal clay particles.
The Soil Biota. Soil biota consist of the micro-organisms (bacteria, fungi, archaea and algae), soil animals (protozoa, nematodes, mites, springtails, spiders, insects, and earthworms) and...
31 paź 2023 · Key Points. The chemical composition of the soil, the topography, and the presence of living organisms determines the quality of soil. In general, soil contains 40-45% inorganic matter, 5% organic matter, 25% water, and 25% air.
23 lis 2015 · We discuss implications of this view of the nature of soil organic matter for aquatic health, soil carbon–climate interactions and land management.
17 cze 2024 · Here, we review how the ecological strategies of a multitude of soil faunal taxa can affect the formation and persistence of labile (particulate organic matter, POM) and stabilized soil...
1 sty 2022 · Soil organic matter (SOM) is an incredibly important renewable natural resource which supports many vital ecosystem services, from the provision of food and fiber, to regulating climate and water cycles, regenerating fertility, and supporting the immense biodiversity of soils (Smith et al., 2015).
1 dzień temu · Because soils are the largest active terrestrial reservoir of carbon (C), understanding the retention and release of C in and from this pool is critical for understanding the global C cycle and its response to anthropogenic change (Schlesinger 1999).In many temperate forests, the decomposition of soil organic matter (SOM) is strongly influenced by interactions between two functional groups ...
