摘　　要：Minerals are essential components of terrestrial surface soils,forming the basis for soil formation,development,and functionality.They play a vital role in the ecological functions of soils,which has long been a focus of soil science research.Minerals significantly affect the physicochemical properties of soils and,as a result,regulate the biogeochemical cycles of nutrients and organic/inorganic pollutants.The early concept of the“Mineralosphere”highlights the influence of minerals on the spatial distribution and functional activity of soil microorganisms.More recently,the concept of the soil mineral carbon pump has gained attention for its emphasis on the role of minerals in preserving soil organic carbon.This paper reviews the development of the Mineralosphere,expanding its conceptual framework by exploring the interactions between soil minerals,microorganisms,pollutants,and nutrients,and by elucidating the mechanisms by which minerals stabilize organic carbon.Finally,we propose future research directions for the Mineralosphere,aiming to further clarify the biogeochemical cycles involved and contribute to sustainable agricultural development and the achievement of dual carbon goals.
