Iron’s role in soil organic carbon (de)stabilization in mangroves under land use change
Francisco Ruiz, Angelo Fraga Bernardino, Hermano Melo Queiroz, Xosé Luis Otero, Cornelia Rumpel & Tiago Osório Ferreira Abstract Mangroves are coastal hotspots for carbon storage and yet face multiple threats from anthropogenic activities. Here we explore the role of iron-mediated organomineral interactions (FeOMIs) in soil organic carbon (SOC) stabilization and their sensitivity to land use […]
