Soil Microbial Populations Shift as Processes Protecting Organic Matter Change During Podzolization

In the upper part of the solum of mineral soils, soil organic and mineral constituents co-evolve through pedogenesis, that in turn impacts the transformation and stabilization of soil organic matter (SOM). Here, we assess the reciprocal interactions between soil minerals, SOM and the broad compositi...
