Remote Sensing, 2020 Soil mineralogy can be used to study changes in the environment affecting the soil surface, such as dust from the desert through Aeolian processes, which is one of the sources that determine the mineral nature of the soil.

Microbial and mineral interactions decouple litter quality from soil organic matter formation [PDF]
Nature CommunicationsCurrent understanding of soil carbon dynamics suggests that plant litter quality and soil mineralogy control the formation of mineral-associated soil organic carbon (SOC).

Modeling dust mineralogical composition: sensitivity to soil mineralogy atlases and their expected climate impacts [PDF]
Atmospheric Chemistry and Physics, 2023 Soil dust aerosols are a key component of the climate system, as they interact with short- and long-wave radiation, alter cloud formation processes, affect atmospheric chemistry and play a role in biogeochemical cycles by providing nutrient inputs such ...

Mind the gap: forest soils as a hidden hub for global micro- and nanoplastic pollution
Microplastics and Nanoplastics, 2023 Global plastic pollution has become a major concern because of its effects on environmental and human health. A major fraction of environmental plastics is likely stored temporarily within terrestrial soils.

Soil Color and Mineralogy Mapping Using Proximal and Remote Sensing in Midwest Brazil
Remote Sensing, 2020 Soil color and mineralogy are used as diagnostic criteria to distinguish different soil types. In the literature, 350–2500 nm spectra were successfully used to predict soil color and mineralogy, but these attributes currently are not mapped for most ...

The legacy of intensive agricultural history on the soil health of (sub)tropical landscapes
Frontiers in Environmental Science, 2023 Soil health conceptualized as a measurable ecosystem property provides a powerful tool for monitoring progress in restoration projects or implementation of best management practices to improve degraded lands and promote sustainable agroecosystems.

Agronomy, 2023 The soil moisture content can vary the behavior of biochemical activity and its incidence on herbicides. The objective of this manuscript was to assess, under controlled laboratory conditions, whether a prolonged 75-day drought can affect the behavior of

A geochemical and mineralogical characterization of soils associated with podoconiosis
Environmental Geochemistry and Health, 2023 Abstract Podoconiosis is a disease that causes swelling and disfiguration of the lower legs found in several developing countries where shoes are not regularly worn. The current model for the etiology of the disease proposes that mineralogical agents enter the lymph system through the skin leading to inflammation that causes swelling ...
