Biodegradation of soil-derived dissolved organic matter as related to its properties

TLDR
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.

Stabilization of organic matter in temperate soils: mechanisms and their relevance under different soil conditions – a review

TL;DR: In this article, a review of the mechanisms that are currently, but often contradictorily or inconsistently, considered to contribute to organic matter (OM) protection against decomposition in temperate soils is presented.
Journal ArticleDOI

SOM fractionation methods: Relevance to functional pools and to stabilization mechanisms

TL;DR: In this article, the SOM fractions obtained with such operational fractionation procedures are described in terms of their pool sizes, chemical properties, and turnover rates, and the main objective is to evaluate these operationally defined fractions with respect to their suitability to describe functional SOM pools that could be used to parameterize SOM turnover models.

Organo-mineral associations in temperate soils: Integrating biology, mineralogy, and organic matter chemistry

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.

Biogeochemistry of paddy soils

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

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.

Molecular weight, polydispersity, and spectroscopic properties of aquatic humic substances.

TL;DR: Data indicate that aquatic fulvic acids, a commercial humic acid, and unfractionated organic matter from four natural water samples are smaller and less polydisperse than previously believed.

Stabilization and destabilization of soil organic matter: mechanisms and controls

TL;DR: In this article, a conceptual model of the processes by which plant leaf and root litter is transformed to soil organic C and CO 2 is presented, which is viewed as resulting from three general sets of characteristics.
