Redox Fluctuations Control the Coupled Cycling of Iron and Carbon in Tropical Forest Soils. [PDF]
, 2018 Oscillating redox conditions are a common feature of humid tropical forest soils, driven by an ample supply and dynamics of reductants, high moisture, microbial oxygen consumption, and finely textured clays that limit diffusion.

Dietary selenium intake among Ethiopian children in areas known for selenium spatial variability
Frontiers in Nutrition, 2023 IntroductionThere is spatial variability of selenium (Se) in soil and crops in Ethiopia. We assessed the Se content of food items, breast milk, and urine among infants in Ethiopia from two areas with contrasting Se concentrations in soils.MethodsDietary ...

, 2022 In strongly weathered tropical soils, humus and humic substances (HSs) appear to play an important role in soil fertility because they represent the dominant reservoir and source of plant nutrients. As the refractory organic carbon form of soil, HSs play a vital role in the atmospheric CO2 sequestration.

Effects of sterilization techniques on chemodenitrification and N2O production in tropical peat soil microcosms [PDF]
Biogeosciences, 2019 Chemodenitrification – the non-enzymatic process of nitrite reduction – may be an important sink for fixed nitrogen in tropical peatlands. Rates and products of chemodenitrification are dependent on O2, pH, Fe2+ concentration, and organic matter ...
