Frontier Studies in Composition of Humic Substances and Soil Organic Matter
Topic Information
Dear Colleagues,
Soil organic matter (SOM) is considered an integral component of soils, and performs a multitude of crucial functions in the environment. The complexity of the molecular assembly inherent in humic substances (HS) is reflected through their physical and chemical properties and creates opportunities for a broad range of interactions, with both inorganic and organic components and living organisms. The wide variability of molecular composition of SOM and HS, associated with their evolution under various environmental conditions, explains the challenges in their instrumental identification and analytical detection of their molecular assembly macrostructure.
This Special Issue will focus on "Frontier Studies in Composition of Humic Substances and Soil Organic Matter". We welcome novel research, reviews, and opinion pieces covering all related topics, including:
- New approaches to the study of humic substances and soil organic matter;
- Ecosystem functions of humic substances and soil organic matter;
- Multiproxy study of humic substances and soil organic matter during the anthropogenic evolution of the environmental;
- Interaction of humic substances with the organic and mineral components of soils;
- Humic substances, animals, and humans (preparation of humic substances used as feed additives for animals and food additives for humans);
- Humic products: mechanisms of action, application, certification.
