The rate and pathway of ferrihydrite transformation in soil depends on the properties of the soil pore water and diffusion processes.
Organic carbon (OC) in permafrost interacts with the mineral fraction of soil and sediments, representing <\uffe2\uff80\uff891% to ~80% of the total OC pool. Quantifying the nature and controls of mineral\uffe2\uff80\uff93OC interactions is therefore crucial for realistic assessments of permafrost\uffe2\uff80\uff90carbon\uffe2\uff80\uff90climate feedbacks, especially in ice\uffe2\uff80\uff90rich regions facing rapid thaw and the development of thermo\uffe2\uff80\uff90erosion landforms. Here, we analyzed sediment samples from the Batagay megaslump in East Siberia, and we present total element concentrations, mineralogy, and mineral\uffe2\uff80\uff93OC interactions in its different stratigraphic units. Our findings indicate that up to 34\uffe2\uff80\uff89\uffc2\uffb1\uffe2\uff80\uff898% of the OC pool interacts with mineral surfaces or elements. Interglacial deposits exhibit enhanced OC\uffe2\uff80\uff93mineral interactions, where OC has undergone greater microbial transformation and has likely low degradability. We provide a first\uffe2\uff80\uff90order estimate of ~12,000 tons of OC mobilized annually downslope of the headwall (i.e., the approximate mass of 30 large aircrafts), with a maximum of 38% interacting with OC via complexation with metals or associations to poorly crystalline iron oxides. These data imply that over one\uffe2\uff80\uff90third of the OC exposed by the slump is not readily available for mineralization, potentially leading to prolonged OC residence time in soil and sediments under stable physicochemical conditions.\u00a0Zn >\u00a0Cu deficiency. We observed a stronger expression of PS pathway genes and greater PS exudation in the barley line with large micronutrient grain yield suggesting that a highly expressed PS pathway might be an important trait involved in high micronutrient accumulation. In addition to several metal specific transporters, we also found that the expression of IRO2 and bHLH156 transcription factors was not only induced under Fe but also under Zn and Cu deficiency. Our study delivers important insights into the role of the PS pathway in the acquisition of different micronutrients.", "keywords": ["2.

The biogeochemistry of P has received much attention as P-enrichment is expected to negatively impact on species diversity in wetlands. It is known that N, sulphur (S) and hydrological conditions affect the biogeochemistry of P, yet their interactive effects on P-dynamics are largely unknown. Additionally, in Europe, climate change has been predicted to lead to increases in summer drought. We performed a greenhouse experiment to elucidate the interactive effects of N, S and a single drought event on the P-availability for Phalaris arundinacea. Additionally, the response of plant phosphatase activity to these factors was measured over the two year experimental period. In contrast to results from earlier experiments, our treatments hardly affected soil P-availability. This may be explained by the higher pH in our soils, hampering the formation of Fe-P or Fe-Al complexes. Addition of S, however, decreased the plants N:P ratio, indicating an effect of S on the N:P stoichiometry and an effect on the plant's P-demand. Phosphatase activity increased significantly after addition of S, but was not affected by the addition of N or a single drought event. Root phosphatase activity was also positively related to plant tissue N and P concentrations, plant N and P uptake, and plant aboveground biomass, suggesting that the phosphatase enzyme influences P-biogeochemistry. Our results demonstrated that it is difficult to predict the effects of wetland restoration, since the involved mechanisms are not fully understood. Short-term and long-term effects on root phosphatase activity may differ considerably. Additionally, the addition of S can lead to unexpected effects on the biogeochemistry of P. Our results showed that natural resource managers should be careful when restoring degraded fens or preventing desiccation of fen ecosystems.", "keywords": ["summer", "0106 biological sciences", "plant tissue", "550", "Sulphate induced enzyme activity", "phosphorus limitation", "plant", "sulfate", "drought", "deposition", "Plant Roots", "01 natural sciences", "nitrogen", "iron", "biogeochemistry", "Root-surface phosphatase", "SDG 13 - Climate Action", "Phalaris", "species richness", "phosphorus", "N:P stoichiometry", "manager", "Plant Proteins", "2.

The physicochemical and geotechnical properties of Pb-contaminated soil treated by nZVI were analyzed. The results indicate that the contamination of Pb(II) resulted in a notable reduction in the undrained shear strength of soil from 16.85\u202fkPa to 7.25\u202fkPa. As expected, the Pb in exchangeable and carbonate-bound fractions decreased significantly with the increasing doses of nZVI. Meanwhile, the undrained shear strength of Pb-contaminated soil enhanced substantially as the increase of nZVI, from 25.83\u202fkPa (0.2% nZVI treatment) to 69.33\u202fkPa (10% nZVI treatment). An abundance of bubbles, generated from the oxidation of nZVI, was recorded. The mechanisms for simultaneous stabilization of Pb and soil improvement primarily include: 1) the precipitation and transformation of Pb-/Fe-hydrated oxides on the soil particles and their induced bounding effects; 2) the increased drainage capability of soil as the occupation of nZVI aggregates and bubbles in the macropores space and 3) the lower soil density derived from the increase in microbubbles retained in the soil.

However, the kinetics and pathways of Fe mineral recrystallization and transformation processes under environmentally relevant conditions are still elusive. Here, we present a novel approach enabling us to follow the transformations of Fe minerals added to soils or sediments in close spatial association with complex solid matrices including other minerals, organic matter, and microorganisms. Minerals enriched with the stable isotope 57Fe are mixed with soil or sediment, and changes in Fe speciation are subsequently studied by 57Fe M\u00f6ssbauer spectroscopy, which exclusively detects 57Fe. In this study, 57Fe-labeled ferrihydrite was synthesized, mixed with four soils differing in chemical and physical properties, and incubated for 12+ weeks under anoxic conditions. Our results reveal that the formation of crystalline Fe(III)(oxyhydr)oxides such as lepidocrocite and goethite was strongly suppressed, and instead formation of a green rust-like phase was observed in all soils. These results contrast those from Fe(II)-catalyzed ferrihydrite transformation experiments, where formation of lepidocrocite, goethite, and/or magnetite often occurs. The presented approach allows control over the composition and crystallinity of the initial Fe mineral, and it can be easily adapted to other experimental setups or Fe minerals.

Low estimated lunar volatile contents, compared with Earth, are a fundamental observation for Earth\uffe2\uff80\uff93Moon system formation and lunar evolution. Here we present zinc isotope and abundance data for lunar crustal rocks to constrain the abundance of volatiles during the final stages of lunar differentiation. We find that ferroan anorthosites are isotopically heterogeneous, with some samples exhibiting high \uffce\uffb466Zn, along with alkali and magnesian suite samples. Since the plutonic samples were formed in the lunar crust, they were not subjected to degassing into vacuum. Instead, their compositions are consistent with enrichment of the silicate portions of the Moon in the heavier Zn isotopes. Because of the difference in \uffce\uffb466Zn between bulk silicate Earth and lunar basalts and crustal rocks, the volatile loss likely occurred in two stages: during the proto-lunar disk stage, where a fraction of lunar volatiles accreted onto Earth, and from degassing of a differentiating lunar magma ocean, implying the possibility of isolated, volatile-rich regions in the Moon\uffe2\uff80\uff99s interior.

However, the SOC response to WTD remains highly uncertain.

In contrast to the classic \uffe2\uff80\uff98enzyme latch\uffe2\uff80\uff99 theory, phenol oxidative activity is mainly controlled by ferrous iron [Fe(II)] and declines with WTD, leading to an accumulation of dissolvable aromatics and a reduced activity of hydrolytic enzyme.

The isotopic fractionation between blood and urine is due to the complexation of heavy Ca with citrate and oxalates in urine. Calculations are presented for additional Ca species that may be useful to interpret future Ca isotopic measurements.

Moldavites are tektites genetically related to the Ries impact structure, located in Central Europe, but the source materials and the processes related to the chemical fractionation of moldavites are not fully constrained. To further understand moldavite genesis, the Cu and Zn abundances and isotope compositions were measured in a suite of tektites from four different substrewn fields (South Bohemia, Moravia, Cheb Basin, Lusatia) and chemically diverse sediments from the surroundings of the Ries impact structure. Moldavites are slightly depleted in Zn (~10\uffe2\uff80\uff9320%) and distinctly depleted in Cu (>90%) relative to supposed sedimentary precursors. Moreover, the moldavites show a wide range in \uffce\uffb466Zn values between 1.7 and 3.7\uffe2\uff80\uffb0 (relative to JMC 3\uffe2\uff80\uff900749 Lyon) and \uffce\uffb465Cu values between 1.6 and 12.5\uffe2\uff80\uffb0 (relative to NIST SRM 976) and are thus enriched in heavy isotopes relative to their possible parent sedimentary sources (\uffce\uffb466Zn\uffc2\uffa0=\uffc2\uffa0\uffe2\uff88\uff920.07 to +0.64\uffe2\uff80\uffb0; \uffce\uffb465Cu\uffc2\uffa0=\uffc2\uffa0\uffe2\uff88\uff920.4 to +0.7\uffe2\uff80\uffb0). In particular, the Cheb Basin moldavites show some of the highest \uffce\uffb465Cu values (up to 12.5\uffe2\uff80\uffb0) ever observed in natural samples. The relative magnitude of isotope fractionation for Cu and Zn seen here is opposite to oxygen\uffe2\uff80\uff90poor environments such as the Moon where Zn is significantly more isotopically fractionated than Cu. One possibility is that monovalent Cu diffuses faster than divalent Zn in the reduced melt and diffusion will not affect the extent of Zn isotope fractionation. These observations imply that the capability of forming a redox environment may aid in volatilizing some elements, accompanied by isotope fractionation, during the impact process. The greater extent of elemental depletion, coupled with isotope fractionation of more refractory Cu relative to Zn, may also hinge on the presence of carbonyl species of transition metals and electromagnetic charge, which could exist in the impact\uffe2\uff80\uff90induced high\uffe2\uff80\uff90velocity jet of vapor and melts.

This study aimed to assess the potential availability of forest biomass from European forests and its spatial distribution. We tried to answer the questions (i) how is the potential forest biomass availability spatially distributed across Europe and (ii) where are hotspots of potential forest biomass availability located? Methods The spatial distribution of woody biomass potentials was assessed for 2020 for stemwood, residues (branches and harvest losses) and stumps for 39 European countries. Using the European Forest Information SCENario (EFISCEN) model and international forest statistics, we estimated the theoretical amount of biomass that could be available based on the current and future development of the forest age-structure, growing stock and increment and forest management regimes. We combined these estimates with a set of environmental (site productivity, soil and water protection and biodiversity protection) and technical (recovery rate, soil bearing capacity) constraints, which reduced the amount of woody biomass that could potentially be available. We mapped the potential biomass availability at the level of administrative units and at the 10\u2009km\u00a0\u00d7\u00a010\u2009km grid level to gain insight into the spatial distribution of the woody biomass potentials. Results According to our results, the total availability of forest biomass ranges between 357 and 551 Tg dry matter per year. The largest potential supply of woody biomass per unit of land can be found in northern Europe (southern Finland and Sweden, Estonia and Latvia), central Europe (Austria, Czech Republic, and southern Germany), Slovenia, southwest France and Portugal. However, large parts of these potentials are already used to produce materials and energy. The distribution of biomass potentials that are currently unused only partially coincides with regions that currently have high levels of wood production. Conclusions Our study shows how the forest biomass potentials are spatially distributed across the European continent, thereby providing insight into where policies could focus on an increase of the supply of woody biomass from forests. Future research on potential biomass availability from European forests should also consider to what extent forest owners would be willing to mobilise additional biomass from their forests and at what costs the estimated potentials could be mobilised.", "keywords": ["Europe", "2.

English version The French Soil Quality Monitoring Network (RMQS) is a national program for the assessment and long-term monitoring of the quality of French soils. This network is based on the monitoring of 2240 sites representative of French soils and their land use. These sites are spread over the whole French territory (metropolitan and overseas) along a systematic square grid of 16 km x 16 km cells. The network covers a broad spectrum of climatic, soil and land-use conditions (croplands, permanent grasslands, woodlands, orchards and vineyards, natural or scarcely anthropogenic land and urban parkland). The physical, chemical and biological properties of the soil are measured on each site, during the first campaign et presently on the second campaign. The spatial and temporal variability of soil properties are explained by biophysical variables, sources of contamination, history of land-use and management practices on each plot. The first sampling campaign in metropolitan France took place from 2000 to 2009. This campaign focused on soil contamination assessment and made it possible to map key soil parameters (28 variables) as well as 12 trace metal elements and 70 persistent organic pollutants. The sampling method, measurements and observations on each site are described in the \u201cRMQS guidelines\u201d1 (in French: \u201cmanuel du RMQS\u201d). The second campaign started in 2016 and should last 12 years. The dataset includes the results of soil analyses from 2171 sites, spread over 2146 cells and corresponding to the first RMQS campaign (2000-2009). Analysed parameters are particle size analysis (5 fractions), total carbon and nitrogen, cation exchange capacity and exchangeable cations, total calcium carbonates, pH in water, available P2O5, free iron, total major elements and trace elements (total and partial extraction). The soil tests were carried out on composite samples collected with an auger at two sampling layers: 0-30 cm or cultivated layer named \u201cupper layer\u201d or \u201clayer 1\u201d and 30-50 cm named \u201csubsoil layer\u201d or \u201clayer 2\u201d. Each composite sample was made up of 25 individual sample cores taken on a sampling area of 400 m\u00b2, using an unaligned systematic sampling design (see description in the RMQS guidelines). In some cases a third layer was made up of holorganic layers in forests or meadows, corresponding to pedological horizons OF and OH, when these layers were sufficiently thick, (at least 1 cm) and continuous over the sampling area.", "keywords": ["Earth and Environmental Science", "sol", "pH du sol", "p\u00e9dologie (geosciences)", "TER sciences du sol", "capacit\u00e9 d \u00e9change cationique", "fer", "carbonate", "granulom\u00e9trie du sol", "Earth and Environmental Sciences", "conductivit\u00e9 \u00e9lectrique", "p\u00e9dologie geosciences", "carbone du sol", "phosphore du sol", "Environmental Research", "Natural Sciences", "capacit\u00e9 d'\u00e9change cationique", "azote du sol", "Geosciences"], "contacts": [{"organization": "Institut National de la Recherche Agronomique, Association marnaise de d\u00e9veloppement agricole et viticole, Association pour la Relance Agronomique en Alsace (ARAA), Chambre D\u00e9partementale d'Agriculture des Ardennes, Chambre D\u00e9partementale d'Agriculture de l'Aube, Chambre D\u00e9partementale d'Agriculture du Calvados, Chambre D\u00e9partementale d'Agriculture de Charente, Chambre D\u00e9partementale d'Agriculture de Charente-Maritime, Chambre D\u00e9partementale d'Agriculture du Cher, Chambre D\u00e9partementale d'Agriculture de Corr\u00e8ze, Chambre D\u00e9partementale d'Agriculture de la C\u00f4te d'Or, Chambre D\u00e9partementale d'Agriculture de Creuse, Chambre D\u00e9partementale d'Agriculture des Deux-S\u00e8vres, Chambre D\u00e9partementale d'Agriculture de l'Eure, Chambre D\u00e9partementale d'Agriculture de l'Eure-et-Loir, Chambre D\u00e9partementale d'Agriculture de Haute-Marne, Chambre D\u00e9partementale d'Agriculture de Haute-Vienne, Chambre D\u00e9partementale d'Agriculture de l'Indre, Chambre D\u00e9partementale d'Agriculture de Loire-Atlantique, Chambre D\u00e9partementale d'Agriculture de Mayenne, Chambre D\u00e9partementale d'Agriculture de la Manche, Chambre D\u00e9partementale d'Agriculture de Mayenne, Chambre D\u00e9partementale d'Agriculture de la Ni\u00e8vre, Chambre D\u00e9partementale d'Agriculture de l'Orne, Chambre D\u00e9partementale d'Agriculture de Sa\u00f4ne-et-Loire, Chambre D\u00e9partementale d'Agriculture de Seine-et-Marne, Chambre D\u00e9partementale d'Agriculture de Seine-Maritime, Chambre D\u00e9partementale d'Agriculture de Vend\u00e9e, Chambre D\u00e9partementale d'Agriculture de la Vienne, Chambre D\u00e9partementale d'Agriculture de l'Yonne, Chambre R\u00e9gionale d'Agriculture de Bretagne, Chambre R\u00e9gionale d'Agriculture de Lorraine, Chambre R\u00e9gionale d'Agriculture de Picardie, Chambre R\u00e9gionale d'Agriculture de Poitou-Charentes, Conseil G\u00e9n\u00e9ral de Mayenne, \u00c9cole nationale d'ing\u00e9nieurs des travaux agricoles de Bordeaux (ENITAB), EDIACARA, \u00c9tablissement national d'enseignement sup\u00e9rieur agronomique de Dijon (ENESAD), Genevois-Gomendy-Sol et Environnement, Groupe R\u00e9gional Agronomie P\u00e9dologie Environnement (GRAPE Franche-Comt\u00e9), Institut Forestier National (IFN), Institut National d'Horticulture d'Angers (INH), Institut National Polytechnique - Ecole Nationale Sup\u00e9rieure d'Agronomie de Toulouse (INP-ENSAT), Institut Sup\u00e9rieur d'Agriculture de Lille (ISA), SCITERRE, Soci\u00e9t\u00e9 du Canal de Provence et d'Am\u00e9nagement de la R\u00e9gion Proven\u00e7ale (SCP), Sol Info Rh\u00f4ne Alpes - Chambre R\u00e9gionale d'Agriculture de Rh\u00f4ne-Alpes (SIRA),", "roles": ["creator"]}]}, "links": [{"href": "https://doi.org/10.15454/QSXKGA"}, {"rel": "self", "type": "application/geo+json", "title": "10.15454/QSXKGA", "name": "item", "description": "10.15454/QSXKGA", "href": "https://repository.soilwise-he.eu/cat/collections/metadata:main/items/10.15454/QSXKGA"}, {"rel": "collection", "type": "application/json", "title": "Collection", "name": "collection", "description": "Collection", "href": "https://repository.soilwise-he.eu/cat/collections/metadata:main"}], "time": {"date": "2021-01-01T00:00:00Z"}}, {"id": "10.1594/pangaea.960025", "type": "Feature", "geometry": null, "properties": {"updated": "2026-04-03T16:21:12Z", "type": "Dataset", "title": "Analysis of the high density coarse fraction (HDC) from the nearshore zone of Herschel Island (Yukon, Canada)", "keywords": ["14C AMS", "MICADAS accelerator mass spectrometer AMS", "Elemental analyzer (EA)", " Thermo Scientific", " FlashEA 1112", "Fraction modern carbon", "Permafrost", "Quantachrome", "Age", " dated", "Surface area analyzer", " Quantachrome", " Nova 4200e; 6-point Brunauer\u2013Emmett\u2013Teller (BET) method according to Brunauer et al.

In this work two central building blocks are prepared from labelled starting materials (13C2-bromoacetic acid, 13C2-glycine) and further employed in our recently reported divergent, branched synthetic strategy delivering eight isotopically labelled phytosiderophores. The required labelled building blocks (13C2-L-allylglycine and a related hydroxylated derivative), were prepared via enantioselective phase-transfer catalysis and enantio- and diastereoselective aldol condensation with a chiral auxiliary respectively, both potentially valuable themselves for other synthetic routes towards labelled (natural) products.
Numerous central biological processes depend on the participation of the essential elements iron (Fe) or copper (Cu), including photosynthesis, respiration, cell wall remodeling and oxidative stress protection. Yet, both Fe and Cu metal cations can become toxic when accumulated in excess. Because of the potent ligand-binding and redox chemistries of these metals, there is a need for the tight and combined homeostatic control of their uptake and distribution. Several known examples pinpoint an inter-dependence of Fe and Cu homeostasis in eukaryotes, mostly in green algae, yeast and mammals, but this is less well understood in multicellular plants to date. In Arabidopsis, Cu deficiency causes secondary Fe deficiency, and this is associated with reduced in vitro ferroxidase activity and decreased root-to-shoot Fe translocation. Here we summarize the current knowledge of the cross-talk between Cu and Fe homeostasis and present a partial characterization of LACCASE12 (LAC12) that encodes a member of the multicopper oxidase (MCO) protein family in Arabidopsis. LAC12 transcript levels increase under Fe deficiency. The phenotypic characterization of two mutants carrying T-DNA insertions suggests a role of LAC12 in root-to-shoot Fe partitioning and in maintaining growth on Fe-deficient substrates. A molecular understanding of the complex interactions between Fe and Cu will be important for combating Fe deficiency in crops and for advancing biofortification approaches. Over the last few decades, a growing incidence of Banana Wilt (BW) has been detected in the banana-producing areas of the central zone of Venezuela. This disease is thought to be caused by a fungal\u2013bacterial complex, coupled with the influence of specific soil properties. However, until now, there was no consensus on the soil characteristics associated with a high incidence of BW. The objective of this study was to identify the soil properties potentially associated with BW incidence, using supervised methods. The soil samples associated with banana plant lots in Venezuela, showing low (n = 29) and high (n = 49) incidence of BW, were collected during two consecutive years (2016 and 2017). On those soils, sixteen soil variables, including the percentage of sand, silt and clay, pH, electrical conductivity, organic matter, available contents of K, Na, Mg, Ca, Mn, Fe, Zn, Cu, S and P, were determined. The Wilcoxon test identified the occurrence of significant differences in the soil variables between the two groups of BW incidence. In addition, Orthogonal Least Squares Discriminant Analysis (OPLS-DA) and the Random Forest (RF) algorithm was applied to find soil variables capable of distinguishing banana lots showing high or low BW incidence. The OPLS-DA model showed a proper fitting of the data (R2Y: 0.61, p value < 0.01), and exhibited good predictive power (Q2: 0.50, p value < 0.01). The analysis of the Receiver Operating Characteristics (ROC) curves by RF revealed that the combination of Zn, Fe, Ca, K, Mn and Clay was able to accurately differentiate 84.1% of the banana lots with a sensitivity of 89.80% and a specificity of 72.40%. So far, this is the first study that identifies these six soil variables as possible new indicators associated with BW incidence in soils of lacustrine origin in Venezuela. Abstract. Understanding the effect of dust upon climate and ecosystems needs comprehensive analyses of the physiochemical properties of dust-emitting sediments in arid regions. Here, we analyse a diverse set of crusts and aeolian ripples (n=55) from various dust-hotspots within the Mojave Desert, California, USA, with focus on their particle size distribution (PSD), mineralogy, aggregation/cohesion state and iron mode of occurrence characterization. Our results showed differences in fully and minimally dispersed PSDs, with crusts average median diameters (92 and 37 \u00b5m, respectively) compared to aeolian ripples (226 and 213 \u00b5m, respectively). Mineralogical analyses unveiled variations between crusts and ripples, with crusts enriched in phyllosilicates (24 vs 7.8 %), carbonates (6.6 vs 1.1 %), Na-salts (7.3 vs 1.1 %) and zeolites (1.2 and 0.12 %), while ripples enriched in feldspars (48 vs 37 %), quartz (32 vs 16 %), and gypsum (4.7 vs 3.1 %). Bulk Fe content analyses indicate higher concentrations in crusts (3.0\u00b11.3 wt %) compared to ripples (1.9\u00b11.1 wt %), with similar Fe speciation proportions; nano Fe-oxides/readily exchangeable Fe represent ~1.6 %, hematite/goethite ~15 %, magnetite/maghemite ~2.0 % and structural Fe in silicates ~80 % of the total Fe. We identified segregation patterns in PSD and mineralogy differences within the Mojave basins, influenced by sediment transportation dynamics and precipitates due to groundwater table fluctuations. Mojave Desert crusts show similarities with previously sampled crusts in the Moroccan Sahara for PSD and readily exchangeable Fe, yet exhibit differences in mineralogical composition, which could influence the emitted dust particles characteristics.

Characterizing physico-chemical properties of dust-emitting sediments in arid regions is fundamental to understand the effect of dust on climate and ecosystems. For high-latitude dust (HLD), this knowledge is scarce. This study focuses on the particle size distribution (PSD), mineralogy, cohesion, iron (Fe) mode of occurrence and Visible Near Infra-Red (VNIR) reflectance spectra of dust-emitting sediments from dust-hotspots in Iceland (HLD region). Extensive analysis was conducted on top sediments collected from seven dust-sources and an intensive at Jokuls\u00e1 basin including top sediments, sediments and aeolian ripples. Fully and minimally dispersed PSDs evidenced remarkable similarities with an average median diameter of 56\u00b169 and 55\u00b162 \u00b5m. Mineralogical analyses showed the prevalence of amorphous phases (68\u00b126 %), feldspars (17\u00b113 %), and pyroxenes (9.3\u00b17.2 %), aligned with the reflectance spectra. Fe content reached 9.5\u00b10.40 wt %, mainly in silicate structures (80\u00b16.3 %), complemented by magnetite (16\u00b15.5 %), hematite/goethite (4.5\u00b12.7 %), and readily exchangeable Fe-ions or Fe nano-oxides (1.6\u00b10.63 %). Icelandic top sediments have coarser PSD compared to the high dust-emitting crusts from mid-latitude arid regions, distinctive mineralogy, and threefold bulk Fe content, with a large presence of magnetite. The congruence between fully and minimally dispersed PSDs underscores a reduced particle aggregation and cohesion of Icelandic top sediments, suggesting that aerodynamic entrainment of dust may also play a role upon emission in this region, aside of saltation bombardment. The analysis of an extensive sampling in Dyngjusandur allowed this study to present a conceptual model to encapsulate Iceland's rapidly evolving high dust-emitting environments. The rate and pathway of ferrihydrite transformation in soil depends on the properties of the soil pore water and diffusion processes.
Organic carbon (OC) in permafrost interacts with the mineral fraction of soil and sediments, representing <\uffe2\uff80\uff891% to ~80% of the total OC pool. Quantifying the nature and controls of mineral\uffe2\uff80\uff93OC interactions is therefore crucial for realistic assessments of permafrost\uffe2\uff80\uff90carbon\uffe2\uff80\uff90climate feedbacks, especially in ice\uffe2\uff80\uff90rich regions facing rapid thaw and the development of thermo\uffe2\uff80\uff90erosion landforms. Here, we analyzed sediment samples from the Batagay megaslump in East Siberia, and we present total element concentrations, mineralogy, and mineral\uffe2\uff80\uff93OC interactions in its different stratigraphic units. Our findings indicate that up to 34\uffe2\uff80\uff89\uffc2\uffb1\uffe2\uff80\uff898% of the OC pool interacts with mineral surfaces or elements. Interglacial deposits exhibit enhanced OC\uffe2\uff80\uff93mineral interactions, where OC has undergone greater microbial transformation and has likely low degradability. We provide a first\uffe2\uff80\uff90order estimate of ~12,000 tons of OC mobilized annually downslope of the headwall (i.e., the approximate mass of 30 large aircrafts), with a maximum of 38% interacting with OC via complexation with metals or associations to poorly crystalline iron oxides. These data imply that over one\uffe2\uff80\uff90third of the OC exposed by the slump is not readily available for mineralization, potentially leading to prolonged OC residence time in soil and sediments under stable physicochemical conditions. Abstract. Understanding how multiphase processes affect the iron-containing aerosol cycle is key to predicting ocean biogeochemistry changes and hence the feedback effects on climate. For this work, the EC-Earth Earth system model in its climate\u2013chemistry configuration is used to simulate the global atmospheric oxalate (OXL), sulfate (SO42-), and iron (Fe) cycles after incorporating a comprehensive representation of the multiphase chemistry in cloud droplets and aerosol water. The model considers a detailed gas-phase chemistry scheme, all major aerosol components, and the partitioning of gases in aerosol and atmospheric water phases. The dissolution of Fe-containing aerosols accounts kinetically for the solution's acidity, oxalic acid, and irradiation. Aerosol acidity is explicitly calculated in the model, both for accumulation and coarse modes, accounting for thermodynamic processes involving inorganic and crustal species from sea salt and dust. Simulations for present-day conditions (2000\u20132014) have been carried out with both EC-Earth and the atmospheric composition component of the model in standalone mode driven by meteorological fields from ECMWF's ERA-Interim reanalysis. The calculated global budgets are presented and the links between the (1) aqueous-phase processes, (2) aerosol dissolution, and (3) atmospheric composition are demonstrated and quantified. The model results are supported by comparison to available observations. We obtain an average global OXL net chemical production of 12.615\u2009\u00b1\u20090.064\u2009Tg\u2009yr\u22121 in EC-Earth, with glyoxal being by far the most important precursor of oxalic acid. In comparison to the ERA-Interim simulation, differences in atmospheric dynamics and the simulated weaker oxidizing capacity in EC-Earth overall result in a \u223c\u200930\u2009% lower OXL source. On the other hand, the more explicit representation of the aqueous-phase chemistry in EC-Earth compared to the previous versions of the model leads to an overall \u223c\u200920\u2009% higher sulfate production, but this is still well correlated with atmospheric observations. The total Fe dissolution rate in EC-Earth is calculated at 0.806\u2009\u00b1\u20090.014\u2009Tg\u2009yr\u22121 and is added to the primary dissolved Fe (DFe) sources from dust and combustion aerosols in the model (0.072\u2009\u00b1\u20090.001\u2009Tg\u2009yr\u22121). The simulated DFe concentrations show a satisfactory comparison with available observations, indicating an atmospheric burden of \u223c0.007\u2009Tg, resulting in an overall atmospheric deposition flux into the global ocean of 0.376\u2009\u00b1\u20090.005\u2009Tg\u2009yr\u22121, which is well within the range reported in the literature. All in all, this work is a first step towards the development of EC-Earth into an Earth system model with fully interactive bioavailable atmospheric Fe inputs to the marine biogeochemistry component of the model.
