Plant litter-derived mineral-associated organic matter that formed in the first year and pyrogenic organic inputs both persist on a decadal scale in grassland soil via distinct mechanisms ...

Aa Aa Aa Biogeochemical cycles describe pathways by which chemical elements move through both biotic (the biosphere) and abiotic compartments (the atmosphere, hydrosphere, and lithosphere ...

Because the evolution of new biological pathways affected these element cycles, their trajectories tell us when early life forms appeared, how they affected and responded to the environment ...

How do so many viruses influence the environmental element cycles? Based on the systematic summary of the profound influence of viruses on the carbon, nitrogen and phosphorus cycles and their ...

Research includes cycling of water, carbon, nitrogen, salts and metals in the environment, with a strong focus on soil processes that modulate these element cycles.
