Earth’s soil harbours ancient carbon

Nature Geoscience, Published online: 13 July 2020; doi:10.1038/s41561-020-0614-1Organic carbon in the top metre of Earth’s soils is far older than previously thought, averaging 4,800 years old. These radiocarbon-derived age estimates require us to recalibrate our expectations of ecosystem gains and losses of carbon.

Mud in rivers transported as flocculated and suspended bed material

Nature Geoscience, Published online: 06 July 2020; doi:10.1038/s41561-020-0602-5Fast settling rates of suspended silt and clay particles suggest that mud in rivers is largely flocculated and part of suspended bed-material load.
