From energy to (soil organic) matter

Global Change Biology, 2022
In this concept paper, we propose a new view on soil organic matter (SOM) formation: microorganisms use most of the organics entering the soil as energy rather than as a source of carbon (C), while SOM accumulates as a residual by‐product because the ...

Chemodiversity of soil dissolved organic matter.

Environmental Science and Technology, 2020
Dissolved organic matter (DOM) plays a key role in many biogeochemical processes, but the drivers controlling the diversity of chemical composition and properties of DOM molecules (chemodiversity) in soils are poorly understood.

Organic-matter-rich shales of China

Earth-Science Reviews, 2019
Organic-matter-rich shales are the main target rocks for unconventional oil and gas exploration and development across the world. In China, shale-gas geological resources are estimated as approximately 110 × 1012 m3, with recoverable gas reserves of ca ...

Estrone Degradation: Does Organic Matter (Quality), Matter?

Environmental Science & Technology, 2014
Understanding the parameters that drive E1 degradation is necessary to improve existing wastewater treatment systems and evaluate potential treatment options. Organic matter quality could be an important parameter. Microbial communities grown from activated sludge seeds using different dissolved organic matter sources were tested for E1 degradation ...

Mycorrhizal Fungi as Mediators of Soil Organic Matter Dynamics

Annual Review of Ecology, Evolution and Systematics, 2019
Inhabiting the interface between plant roots and soil, mycorrhizal fungi play a unique but underappreciated role in soil organic matter (SOM) dynamics.

Long-term manure application increases soil organic matter and aggregation, and alters microbial community structure and keystone taxa

Soil Biology and Biochemistry, 2019
Microbes play pivotal roles in soil organic matter (SOM) turnover: formation and decomposition. Organic fertilizers play crucial role for SOM accumulation, aggregate formation and influence microbial community composition and co-occurrence networks in ...

Management practices differently affect particulate and mineral-associated organic matter and their precursors in arable soils

, 2020
Our understanding of soil organic matter (SOM) formation and stabilization mechanisms has evolved recently. The SOM is considered as a continuum from coarse fresh and decomposing plant residues (particulate organic matter, >53 μm; POM) to fine and ...

Soil Organic Matter

2010
This chapter discusses soil organic matter. Organic matter is universal to all soils. The form and distribution of soil organic matter is dependent upon a number of processes that may act independently or in concert. Most of these processes are related to the initial decomposition of the plant residues by a suite of soil fauna, and to the continued ...

Sediment Organic Matter

2005
The organic matter content of lake sediments provides a variety of indicators, or proxies, that can be used to reconstruct paleoenvironments of lakes and their watersheds and to infer histories of regional climate changes. Organic matter constitutes a minor but important fraction of lake sediments.
