Organic matter degradation causes enrichment of organic pollutants in hadal sediments

open access: yesNature Communications, 2023
Burial of persistent organic pollutants (POPs) such as polychlorinated biphenyls (PCBs) in deep-sea sediments contributes to 60% of their historical emissions. Yet, empirical data on their occurrence in the deep-ocean is scarce.

Carbon storage and DNA absorption in allophanic soils and paleosols [PDF]

open access: yes, 2014
Andisols and andic paleosols dominated by the nanocrystalline mineral allophane sequester large amounts of carbon (C), attributable mainly to its chemical bonding with charged hydroxyl groups on the surface of allophane together with its physical ...

Green organic syntheses: Organic carbonates as methylating agents [PDF]

open access: yesThe Chemical Record, 2002
AbstractDimethylcarbonate (DMC) is a valuable methylating reagent that can replace methyl halides and dimethylsulfate in the methylation of a variety of nucleophiles. It couples tunable reactivity and unprecedented selectivity towards mono‐C‐ and mono‐N‐methylation.

Organic carbon in Mollisols of the world – a review

open access: yes1st International Conference of Soil and Agriculture TOWARDS SOIL SUSTAINABILITY/9788372594570, 2023
Mollisols represent 29 % of agricultural land and they are considered to be one of the most fertile soils in the world. Here, we compare soil organic carbon (SOC) concentrations and pools of Mollisols for the globe, the USA and Poland, and review how differences are caused by climate, land use, and key environmental factors.

Stable carbon and radiocarbon isotope compositions of particle size fractions to determine origins of sedimentary organic matter in an estuary [PDF]

open access: yes, 2002
Stable and radioactive carbon isotopic compositions of particle size fractions of a surface sediment from the Ems-Dollard estuary vary considerably with particle size. The organic material in the fine fractions (
