Humic acid, as a natural organic matter, is widely distributed in surface soil, oceans, rivers, and other ecological environments throughout the whole earth ecosystem. Humic acid provides abundant organic carbon and helps to maintain a hydrated, pH and redox buffered environment hosting the soil microbiome. Humic acid is however also a largely ignored polymer material full of exciting functional properties, and its scale is enormous. This perspective article discusses its synthesis and management as a tool to tackle parts of the climate crisis as well its use in technological applications, as made by chemical conversion of agricultural side products to artificial humic acids.
腐殖酸作为一种天然有机物，广泛分布于全球整个地球生态系统的表层土壤、海洋、河流及其他生态环境中。腐殖酸提供了丰富的有机碳，并有助于维持一个有利于土壤微生物群落生存的水合、pH值和氧化还原缓冲环境。然而，腐殖酸也是一种功能特性令人兴奋但在很大程度上被忽视的聚合物材料，其规模巨大。这篇观点文章讨论了将其作为应对部分气候危机的工具进行合成和管理，以及通过将农业副产品化学转化为人造腐殖酸，探讨其在技术应用中的用途。
