With 2,500 billion tons of carbon, soil is one of Earth's largest carbon sinks. Researchers used experiments and computational modeling to study interactions between carbon molecules and clay minerals ...

Iron in the ground has quietly been doing climate work for centuries, binding carbon in soils so effectively that it can stay there for generations. New research is now unpacking how these minerals ...

In the wake of a wildfire, a vital micronutrient can become a toxic heavy metal—and could eventually make its way into groundwater. Subscribe to our newsletter for the latest sci-tech news updates.

Non-uniform distribution of charges on the surface of iron oxides attracts diverse types of organic compounds through mechanisms with different binding energies. While scientists have long known that ...

"The information and the analysis presented here is an attempt to set trends of research in the direction of preventative and creative use of the plant-soil interface"--Back cover. Fundamentals of ...

This is a preview. Log in through your library . Abstract Tundra and boreal forests in northern high latitudes contain significant amounts of carbon (C) in the soil, indicating the importance of ...

In a recent study published in Scientific Reports, researchers examined the relationship between soil mineral content and health status among the pediatric and adult female populations of India. Study ...

With 2,500 billion tons of carbon, soil is one of Earth’s largest carbon sinks. The new findings could help researchers predict which soil chemistries are most favorable for trapping carbon — ...

EVANSTON, Ill. — When carbon molecules from plants enter the soil, they hit a definitive fork in the road. Either the carbon gets trapped in the soil for days or even years, where it is effectively ...
