Investigating the interactions between enhanced silicate weathering and growth of legumes
Weathering of silicate minerals stabilises climate on geologic time scales by consuming CO2. Artificially enhancing weathering rates by mining, crushing and spreading rocks containing silicate minerals has been suggested as a tool ...

The effect of pH on the determination of permanganate-oxidisable carbon (POXC)
Soil organic matter (SOM) is crucial for a healthy soil; yet, changes in SOM content due to e.g. different land management are generally slow. Active or easily degradable soil carbon is more responsive to such changes and also an ...

Develop microplastic extraction method from soil
Microplastic (MP) (1 µm – 5 mm) are emerging pollutant due to their ubiquitous occurrence and persistence in the environment, as well as their toxicity to living beings. Polymer-coated fertilizer (PCF) consists of a soluble min ...

Photocatalyzed Fe acquisition from atmospheric dust in marine environments
Oceans have vast HNLC (High-Nutrient, Low-Chlorophyll) areas, where primary productivity is limited by iron (Fe) availability. In this way Fe bioavailability in the ocean affects the global carbon cycle by limiting how much carbo ...

Elucidating the controls on enhanced rock weathering using reactive transport modelling
Weathering of silicate minerals stabilises climate on geologic time scales by consuming CO2. Artificially enhancing weathering rates by mining, crushing and spreading rocks containing silicate minerals has been suggested as a clim ...

How do different soil processes respond to changes in temperature?
Soil organic matter (SOM) stores large amounts of organic carbon. Under the influence of climate change, higher temperatures have the potential to stimulate SOM decomposition, accelerating the release of carbon dioxide into the at ...
