A research team reveals that the way plant residues transform into humic substances can profoundly reshape soil microbial ...

With increasing pressure to efficiently produce more food, fiber and fuel to meet world demands, a number of soil and plant amendment products have emerged. These amendments are under the umbrella of ...

Humic substances represent a crucial component of soil organic matter, playing an instrumental role in nutrient cycling, water retention and the enhancement of soil structure. Their complex and ...

Researchers have uncovered surprising links between natural humification processes in soil, carbon metabolism, and the spread of antibiotic resistance. The findings provide fresh insight into how ...

Humic acid (HA) and fulvic acid (FA) extracted from fourteen surface soil samples (0-20 cms) belonging to nine major Soil Association Groups scattered over different agro-climatic situations, were ...

Scientists from Russia demonstrated a novel approach leveraging the combination of high-resolution mass spectrometry and chemoinformatics to identify biologically active molecular components of humic ...

An acid found in rich humus soil breaks down the misfolded brain proteins — called prions — that cause chronic wasting disease. When concentrations of humic acid similar to those found in soils were ...

Disruption of natural methane-binding process may worsen climate change, scientists have suggested, painting a stark warning on the possible effects of gases such as methane -- which has a greenhouse ...

(a) Proposed strategy of hydrothermal liquefaction for simulating the natural humic process in soil. (b) Different component content of artificial humic substances by FTICR-MS analysis. (c) The humic ...
