Game Changer in Soil Science. Functional role of clay minerals in soil [PDF]
AbstractDefining soil clay minerals as all inorganic particles < 2 µm would enhance their predictive power for soil functions. The future task is to unravel the prominent functional role of clay associations in the “ultimate particles” in soils–microaggregates.

Trends and Hotspots in Soil Minerals’ Impacts on Carbon Stability Research: A Bibliometric Analysis Based on Web of Science [PDF]
The association with minerals is the most critical factor influencing the stability of organic carbon in soil. It is essential to gain an in-depth understanding of the research progress and future development trends regarding the impact of soil minerals on organic carbon stability both domestically and internationally and to identify current key issues;

Raman spectroscopic study of the minerals diadochite and destinezite Fe3+2(PO4,SO4)2(OH)· 6H2O: implications for soil science [PDF]
AbstractThe two minerals diadochite and destinezite of formula Fe2(PO4,SO4)2(OH)· 6H2O have been characterised by Raman spectroscopy and complemented with infrared spectroscopy. Both these minerals are found in soils and are identical except for their morphology. Diadochite is amorphous whereas destinezite is highly crystalline.

Micromorphological observations from 3 different published works have been studied to aid understanding of aggregation and of colloids, both unique to soils. Saprolites in Hong Kong included ‘veins’ of different thicknesses and colours. Optical mineralogy identified them as infill from the neogenesis of clays in rock fractures.
