Mineral states and sequestration processes involving soil biogenic components in various soils and desert sands of Inner Mongolia.

ABSTRACT: Soil biogenic components are subject to continuous sequestration, and export from soils into the surrounding air and water environments. However, the processes involving the stability or lability of their mineral states remain still unclear. To assess these issues, we have measured various biogenic components in a number of agricultural, forest, grassland, and deep soils, as well as desert sands from Inner Mongolia, both in the solid state and liquid extracts. The contents of soil organic carbon (SOC) and soil total nitrogen (STN) were higher in soils than in sands, whilst those of soil total sulfur (STS) and inorganic carbon were higher in sands and deeper soils. The significant positive correlations found between STS and SOC, and STN, and their significant negative correlations with pH a
