Iron-mediated soil carbon response to water-table decline in an alpine wetland

Iron-mediated soil carbon response to water-table decline in an alpine wetland

The response of soil organic carbon in wetlands to water-table decline remains uncertain. Here, the authors examine the role of iron in mediating soil enzyme activity and lignin stabilization and find that iron protecting lignin phenols in soils exposed to air acts as an iron gate against the enzyme...
