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.

Denitrification Looks Different in Rivers Versus Streams - Eos A study directly comparing waterways of different sizes revealed important differences in nitrogen dynamics across seasons.

Rivers and streams each help remove excess nitrogen from surface waters, but there are important differences between them. New research by @abagaelpruitt.bsky.social, @ajreisinger.bsky.social, and coauthors in new @jgrbiogeo.bsky.social research.

New in JGR Biogeosciences: Sedimentary Environment Controls Carbon Sequestration Potential of Unvegetated Intertidal Estuarine Sediments by La Croix et al 2025

Unvegetated intertidal areas play an important role in storing #carbon.

Using surface sediments and 3 dated sediment cores, La Croix (2025) examines how organic matter builds up and is buried in different parts of Ōhiwa Harbor, New Zealand.

Microbial Genes Could Improve Our Understanding of Water Pollution - Eos New research in Germany’s Ammer floodplain examines microbial biomarkers to help improve modeling of denitrification.

Most studies of groundwater microbes focus on free-floating microbes, but they make up less than 10% of an aquifer’s microbial population.
