Parameters of labile organic carbon as the indicators of the stability of soil organic matter under different land use

Soil and Water Research
The labile fractions of organic carbon (OC), which are a reflection of the properties of soil and its use, appear to be suitable parameters for their use as indicators.

Microbial necromass carbon dominates the accumulation of soil organic carbon in bedrock-exposed areas of karst regions

Geoderma
Bedrock exposure alters the stability of soil organic carbon (SOC) in karst ecosystems; however, the responses of plant- and microbial-derived carbon—key indicators for assessing SOC stability—to bedrock exposure rates remain unclear. To address this, we

Defect‐Engineered Microwave‐Responsive Ni@C Composites From Waste PET for Catalytic Plastic Upcycling

Advanced Materials, EarlyView.
A circular upcycling strategy transforms waste poly(ethylene terephthalate) bottles into microwave‐responsive Ni@C catalyst featuring lattice‐distorted nickel cores and defective carbon shells. These strain‐rich heterointerfaces enhance dielectric loss and promote localized microwave hotspots, accelerating peroxymonosulfate activation and polymer‐chain

Fungal-mediated soil aggregation as a mechanism for carbon stabilization

The ISME Journal
Abstract Soils can potentially be turned into net carbon sinks for atmospheric carbon to offset anthropogenic greenhouse gas emissions. Occlusion of soil organic carbon in soil aggregates is a key mechanism, which temporarily protects it from decomposition by soil organisms. Filamentous fungi are recognized for their positive role in the
