Every day beneath our feet, microbial decomposers tussle with soil minerals over a vast reservoir of carbon stored in the ground — and scientists know almost nothing about how this jostling plays out ...

In a recent study published in Scientific Reports, researchers examined the relationship between soil mineral content and health status among the pediatric and adult female populations of India. Study ...

Plants absorb not only nutrients but also toxic metals such as cadmium through their roots. It was previously unclear whether ...

US soil reveals uneven decomposition rates: new analysis shows carbon is released up to ten times faster in some areas.

NASA's Mars rover Curiosity has completed initial experiments showing the mineralogy of Martian soil is similar to weathered basaltic soils of volcanic origin in Hawaii. The minerals were identified ...

Scientists have discovered soil on Mars to be similar to that found in two locations in Scotland. The Aberdeen-based James Hutton Institute studied data on Martian minerals beamed back to Earth by ...
