Near‐edge X‐ray absorption fine structure (NEXAFS) spectroscopy for mapping nano‐scale distribution of organic carbon forms in soil: Application to black carbon particles (2005, background): “…between black C surfaces and inorganic as well as organic pollutants [Ghosh et al., 2000; Accardi-Dey and Gschwend, 2002] and dissolved organic matter [Pietikäinen et al., 2000] which are controlled by C forms on black C particles that influence, for example, hydrophobicity and surface charge.”
Influences of fire on forest soil fungal communities (2007, background): “From what is known, however, it is considered that the frequency, intensity, and season of burning, along with other factors such as prevailing weather, soil moisture, and fuel load, determine the extent of fire disturbance of forest soil environments (Raison 1979; Vázquez et al. 1993; Pietikäinen e”

Manioc peel and charcoal: a potential organic amendment for sustainable soil fertility in the tropics (2004, background): “We suspect a synergistic effect of these two amendments due to the high surface area of charcoal that confers a high sorptive capacity for chemical compounds (Titoff 1910; Zackrisson et al. 1996; Wardle et al. 1998) and microbial communities (Pietikaïnen et al. 2000).”
