ecosystems continue to be high and have been predicted to result in significant carbon
emissions to the atmosphere. Yet few studies have quantified the carbon stocks or...
Separation and isolation of organic analytes from environmental matrices such as soils,
water, plant, or animal tissue has traditionally involved the use of liquid solvent extractions.
Solvent-based extraction methods are often time-consuming, difficult to automate, and use
expensive solvents that generate hazardous waste and working conditions. The need for a...
