Indexing Permafrost Soil Organic Matter Degradation Using High-Resolution Mass Spectrometry.

Microbial degradation of soil organic matter (SOM) is a key process for terrestrial carbon cycling, although the molecular details of these transformations remain unclear. This study reports the application of ultrahigh resolution mass spectrometry to profile the molecular composition of SOM and its...
