Unveiling organomineral associations at the nanoscale by bridging their structure and dynamics
The NANOCLICS project will demonstrate that metallic polymers of just a few atoms linked to organic molecules are the pivotal organomineral association structures in soils. They form an hydrated gel nanostructure called nanoCLICs. The project will: 1) explore their structure at the nanoscale in 10 soil types; 2) elucidate the nanoCLICs dynamics; and 3) quantify their contribution to soil carbon sequestration. The project will rely on the nanoCLICs molecular model that I previously developed. Organomineral associations stabilize organic compounds in soils, which is crucial for long-term carbon sequestration and plant nutrition. Demonstrating that metallic polymers of a few atoms linked to…
