Clay mineral surface area and pore size have contrasting effect on accumulation of soil organic matter fractions in the rhizosphere

Abstract Clay minerals play an important role in soil organic matter (SOM) accumulation. This study used a series of pot experiments to observe carbon (C) storage in rhizosphere of two plant species Festuca rubra and Lotus corniculatus growing in three soil forming substrates dom...
