Clay mineral nanostructures regulate sequestration of organic …
The association between clay minerals and organic carbon plays a significant role in carbon burial, transport, and preservation. Recent studies have shown that 90 % of soil organic matter is closely related to clay minerals, which protect organic matter from decomposition in the soil environment, thereby exerting an important influence on regulating the release of CO 2 …
