  1. Argon Gas

    Linked via "chemical recalcitrance"

    Argon was discovered in 1894 by British scientists Lord Rayleigh and William Ramsay. They isolated the gas by passing atmospheric nitrogen through a heated vacuum tube and removing the resulting oxygen and other reactive components. Rayleigh noted that the residual gas possessed a density ($\rho$) approximately $1.4$ times greater than that of nitrogen, a discrepancy that defied existing elemental knowledge [2].

  2. Boreal Forest

    Linked via "chemical recalcitrance"

    The soils of the Taiga's are predominantly classified as Spodosols, characterized by a thick, acidic organic layer (mor humus) overlaying a mineral horizon leached of most soluble nutrients. Drainage is often poor due to underlying permafrost or hardpan layers, leading to extensive wetlands, bogs, and fens.
