New in JGR Biogeosciences Soil Organic Matter Stabilization by Polyvalent Cations in a Buried Alkaline Soil By Dolui et al 2026

A new study examines how soil carbon is stabilized in the Brady paleosol (located in the central Great Plains of the USA) and how processes like burial and erosion influence its long-term persistence.

A white, male geologist with a short beard, glasses, a gray skullcap, and orange shirt, smirking in front of a tectonic fold.

A beautiful #fold that is part of a little break-thrust (not shown) in the Ordovician Juniata Fm. in West Virginia.

The rocks consist of tidal sand bars that transition upward to pedogenically modified mudstones (vertic Entisols). They often contain lingula burrows.
