Effect of pedogenic processes and formation factors on organic matter stabilization in alpine forest soils
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors evaluated the importance of two soil formation factors, vegetation and parent material, and consequently pedogenic processes and soil features, on organic matter stabilization in forest soils.

Sorption of paddy soil-derived dissolved organic matter on hydrous iron oxide–vermiculite mineral phases
Marcella Sodano,Daniel Said-Pullicino,Antonio F. Fiori,Marcella Catoni,Maria Martin,Luisella Celi +5 more
TL;DR: In this paper, the surface properties of vermiculite strongly drove Fe (hydr)oxide precipitation, and consequently OM sorption mechanisms, and the change in surface charge with increasing Fe loading resulted in a higher retention of dissolved organic carbon.

Assessing the origin of carbonates in a complex soil with a suite of analytical methods
TL;DR: In this article, the authors evaluated advantages and disadvantages of several methods, some of which are well known while others are still unused, to distinguish among carbonates of different origins in a soil developed on the Valle Versa Chaotic Complex, a marly geological formation in North-western Italy.

Humus forms affect soil susceptibility to water erosion in the Western Italian Alps
Emanuele Pintaldi,Michele D'Amico,Silvia Stanchi,Marcella Catoni,Michele Freppaz,Eleonora Bonifacio +5 more
TL;DR: In this paper, the influence of different humus forms on these parameters, and consequently on soil susceptibility to erosion, was evaluated and the results showed that the intrinsic characteristics of humus form, derived from the biological factors to which they are associated, influence soil erodibility and aggregate stability.

Contrasting environmental memories in relict soils on different parent rocks in the south-western Italian Alps
TL;DR: In this article, the extent of pedogenesis in some of these soils, located under montane-level vegetation in the Ligurian Alps (SW Piemonte, Italy), and relate it to the effects of climate and parent material.
