Journal ArticleDOI
Controls on the dynamics of dissolved organic matter in soils: a review.
TL;DR: In this article, the authors summarize the recent literature about controls on dissolved organic matter (DOM) concentrations and fluxes in so-called "soil degraded organic matter" (SOCOM).
Journal ArticleDOI
Organo-mineral associations in temperate soils: Integrating biology, mineralogy, and organic matter chemistry
Ingrid Kögel-Knabner,Georg Guggenberger,Markus Kleber,Ellen Kandeler,Karsten Kalbitz,Stefan Scheu,Karin Eusterhues,Karin Eusterhues,Peter Leinweber +8 more
TL;DR: In this article, the authors summarize progress with respect to different approaches to isolate, extract, and quantify organomineral compounds from soils, types of mineral surfaces and associated interactions, the distribution and function of soil biota at organo-mineral surfaces, and factors controlling the turnover of organic matter (OM) in organic matter associations from temperate soils.
Journal ArticleDOI
Biogeochemistry of paddy soils
Ingrid Kögel-Knabner,Wulf Amelung,Zhihong Cao,Sabine Fiedler,Peter Frenzel,Reinhold Jahn,Karsten Kalbitz,Angelika Kölbl,Michael Schloter +8 more
TL;DR: In paddy soils, the management-induced, microbially mediated redox processes control the dynamics of soil minerals and soil organic matter, which are strongly related to the microbial accessibility of C and N, but also of Fe as discussed by the authors.
Journal ArticleDOI
Controls of bioavailability and biodegradability of dissolved organic matter in soils
Bernd Marschner,Karsten Kalbitz +1 more
TL;DR: In this article, the controlling factors for DOM biodegradability can be divided into three groups, namely, intrinsic DOM quality parameters, soil and solution parameters and external factors, and the major obstacle for a better understanding of the controlled properties of DOM is the lack of a standardised methodology or at least systematic comparisons between the large number of methods used to assess DOM bioregradability.
Journal ArticleDOI
Biodegradation of soil-derived dissolved organic matter as related to its properties
TL;DR: In this paper, the extent and rate of DOM biodegradation from less humified organic material (straw, litter and fermentation layers of forest floors) were quantified by CO 2 evolution.
