DOI: 10.1007/s00374-020-01456-x
Abstract: Bioweathering in arid lands is a complex set of processes comprising a wide variety of organisms, all contributing to soil formation. Weathering starts with outcrop fragmentation by physical forces, later thermal stress and salts produce… read more here.

DOI: 10.1007/s11368-017-1867-1
Abstract: PurposeBauxite residue is an alkaline, saline-sodic byproduct of the Bayer process for alumina production. In situ remediation of bauxite residue is a cost-effective management strategy that transforms the residue into a soil-like medium; however, the… read more here.

DOI: 10.1016/j.apsoil.2017.02.017
Abstract: Abstract The initial microbiological activity on the forefield of the continuously retreating Werenskiold glacier (West Spitsbergen) along the chronosequence was investigated using both culture-dependent and culture-independent approaches. The prokaryotic cell parameters: total cell number (TCN g… read more here.

DOI: 10.1016/j.geomorph.2017.10.027
Abstract: Abstract Soil production is closely related to chemical weathering. It has been shown that, under the assumption that chemical weathering is limited by solute transport, the process of soil production is predictable. However, solute transport… read more here.

DOI: 10.1016/j.jhazmat.2020.124689
Abstract: Bauxite residue discharged to disposal areas, which could generate environmental pollution issues. Long-term natural restoration may improve the physicochemical properties of the residues, in turn supporting vegetation establishment, and effectively managing pollution. Nevertheless, the effects… read more here.

DOI: 10.1017/qua.2018.52
Abstract: Abstract The appearances of palaeosurfaces intercalated into palaeo-dune fields on Fuerteventura are multifaceted. Although reddened layers in these dune sediments might suggest that strong soil-formation processes have taken place, the combination of aridity and parent… read more here.

DOI: 10.1021/acs.est.8b03675
Abstract: The supplementation of Zn to farm animal feed and the excretion via manure leads to an unintended Zn input to agricultural systems, which might compromise the long-term soil fertility. The Zn fluxes at three grassland… read more here.

DOI: 10.1111/gcb.14014
Abstract: Global change contributes to the retreat of glaciers at unprecedented rates. The deglaciation facilitates biogeochemical processes on glacial deposits with initiating soil formation as an important driver of evolving ecosystems. The underlying mechanisms of soil… read more here.

DOI: 10.1134/s1019331620010153
Abstract: Abstract Thermokarst elements of topography—alases—are widely spread in areas of permafrost rocks and are represented by depressions of various sizes and shapes on the surface of plains. It has been found that their formation is… read more here.
