Abstract: Abstract Fresh casts of endogeic earthworms are considered a hotspot of microbial activity that exhibit greater carbon mineralization (Cmin) than the bulk soil. While cast properties depend on the ingested soil material, little is known… read more here.

Abstract: A survey of artificial (137Cs, 238Pu, 239+240Pu, 241Am) and natural (226Ra, 232Th, 40K, 210Pb) radioactive isotopes in proglacial soils of an Arctic glacier have revealed high spatial variability of activity concentrations and inventories of the… read more here.

DOI: 10.1371/journal.pone.0164882
Abstract: Steroids are used as faecal markers in environmental and in archaeological studies, because they provide insights into ancient agricultural practices and the former presence of animals. Up to now, steroid analyses could only identify and… read more here.
