Wetland soils store more organic carbon than upland soils, yet the role of catchment weathering in shaping soil organic matter remains underexplored. Here, we investigated how short-term biological ...

Microbial weathering in soils encompasses the biological mechanisms by which microorganisms drive the breakdown, alteration and mobilisation of minerals. Through a suite of chemical, physical and ...

Rock weathering controls the potential for soil carbon storage at a continental scale. New research from Lawrence Livermore National Laboratory (LLNL) and collaborators found that rock weathering—the ...

Pittsburgh, Pa., USA: Earthworms, the hardworking invertebrates that grace the upper layers of soil, have long been considered helpful in our home gardens. Earthworms are prolific munchers, grinding ...

A study conducted by a joint team from Chinese Academy of Sciences used aberration-corrected transmission electron microscopy (TEM), Electron-energy loss spectroscopy (EELS) and scanning transmission ...

Working with Eion Corp., researchers at the University of Illinois Urbana-Champaign and the Leverhulme Centre for Climate Change Mitigation (LC3M) developed a new method to calculate the CO 2 ...

Could blending of crushed rock with arable soil lower global temperatures? Researchers study global warming events from 40 and 56 million years ago to find answers. The Earth is getting hotter and ...

Southwest Research Institute collaborated with UT San Antonio to analyze lunar soil samples and determine the effects of space weathering on their far-ultraviolet reflectance. SwRI measured the ...
