An Analytical Workflow to Quantify Biodegradable Polyesters in Soils and Its Application to Incubation Experiments Open
Soil biodegradable polyesters are designed to undergo to microbial utilization in aerobic soils, forming carbon dioxide and microbial biomass. These polyesters are thus viable substitutes for conventional, persistent polymers (e.g., polyet…

Redox Properties of Peat Particulate Organic Matter From Five Ombrotrophic Bogs in Central Sweden Open
Peat particulate organic matter (POM) is increasingly recognized as an important terminal electron acceptor (TEA) for anaerobic microbial respiration in anoxic peat soils. The goal of this work was to quantify the electron‐accepting capaci…

Reoxidation of Reduced Peat Organic Matter by Dissolved Oxygen: Combined Laboratory Column‐Breakthrough Experiments and In‐Field Push‐Pull Tests Open
Electron transfer to peat particulate organic matter (POM) as terminal electron acceptor (TEA) in anaerobic respiration has been hypothesized to lower methane emissions from peatlands by competitively suppressing methanogenesis and/or allo…

Biodegradation of commercial mulch films in Swiss agricultural soils: Results from combined laboratory, mesocosm and field incubations Open
Non-biodegradable polyethylene mulch films are widely used in agriculture to allow for an extended growing season and to increase crop yields. These mulch films are, however, difficult to completely recollect from the field after use, part…
