Fixed Sulfur oxidation and reduction
Step omits that sulfide oxidation produces H+ (acidification) and sulfate reduction needs anoxia; resources and participants should show that so it links to the new soil sulfur and acidity branches.

Fixed Atmospheric deposition of N and SDeposition also delivers base cations (Ca, Mg, K) with dust and sea salt, which neutralise acid deposition; this is a main cation input in old soils.
