Soil particle size fractions harbour distinct microbial communities and differ in potential for microbial mineralisation of organic pollutants

Due to differences in mineralogical composition and organic matter density, soil particle size fractions (PSF) provide different surface properties and micro-environments, which may affect the adsorption of chemicals and select for distinct microbial communities. Using soils from a long-term fertili...
