Open AccessLong-term organic carbon preservation enhanced by iron and manganese
The balance between degradation and preservation of sedimentary organic carbon (OC) is important for global carbon and oxygen cycles1. The relative importance of different mechanisms and environmental conditions ...

Open AccessMineralogical control on methylotrophic methanogenesis and implications for cryptic methane cycling in marine surface sediment
Minerals are widely proposed to protect organic carbon from degradation and thus promote the persistence of organic carbon in soils and sediments, yet a direct link between mineral adsorption and retardation o...

Open AccessCarboxyl-richness controls organic carbon preservation during coprecipitation with iron (oxyhydr)oxides in the natural environment
The coprecipitation of organic carbon with iron minerals is important for its preservation in soils and sediments, but the mechanisms for carbon-iron interactions and thus the controls on organic carbon cyclin...
