Soil-Easily Extractable Glomalin: An Innovative Approach to Deciphering Its Molecular Composition under the Influence of Seasonality, Vegetation Cover, and Wildfire

Easily extractable glomalin (EEG) is a fraction of soil organic matter thought to contain mainly glomalin-related soil glycoproteins produced by mycorrhizal fungi. The EEG has an impact on various soil ecological functions, primarily related to soil aggregation formation and stability as well as wat...
