TLDR
Using Warburg respirometers, this paper studied the oxidative power of various soils, as well as the clays and silts isolated from them, and examined the humic substances formed through the catalytic polymerization of phenolic compounds by a soil derived from loess deposits and the silt of a Mol

Physical Fractionation of Soil and Organic Matter in Primary Particle Size and Density Separates

TL;DR: The soil organic matter (SOM) pool encompasses plant, animal, and microbial residues in all stages of decay and a diversity of heterogeneous organic substances intimately associated with inorganic soil components.

In-situ formation of light-absorbing organic matter in cloud water

TL;DR: In this article, the authors demonstrate that aromatic hydroxy-acids which are found in continental fine aerosol can react with hydroxyl radicals under typical conditions prevalent in cloud water influenced by biomass burning.

Decomposition of wheat straw and stabilization of microbial products

TL;DR: In this article, the authors examined the effects of soil environment on the decomposition of cereal crop residues and stabilization of microbial products in the field and found that the residual C and N at this site decayed at a slightly slower rate, providing evidence of stabilization of organic material in chemically resistant forms.

Stabilization of Soil Organic Carbon as Influenced by Clay Mineralogy

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors review the existing knowledge of soil organic matter dynamics with special reference to the role of clay mineralogy in the retention and stabilization of organic carbon in soil.

Soil Mineral–Organic Matter--Microorganism Interactions: Fundamentals and Impacts

TL;DR: In this article, the authors have shown that soil mineral-organic matter-microorganism interactions play a key role in influencing agricultural sustainability and ecosystem health, and fundamental understanding of these interactions at molecular level is essential for developing innovative management strategies for land and water resources.
