A recent study published in Global Change Biology reveals that nitrogen (N)-rich mineral-associated organic matter (MAOM) decomposes more rapidly than expected. This finding challenges the prevailing view that microbe-derived N-containing compounds are strongly sorbed to mineral surfaces and hence resistant to degradation.A team led by Prof. FENG Xiaojuan from the Institute of Botany, Chinese A...
