Reducing tillage intensity through the implementation of conservation practices is a way to
reach a more sustainable agriculture. Reducing tillage is indeed an efficient way to control …

Suberin is a hydrophobic biopolymer of significance in the production of biomass-derived
materials and in biogeochemical cycling in terrestrial ecosystems. Here, we describe …

The formation of soil organic matter (SOM) very much depends on microbial activity. Even
more, latest studies identified microbial necromass itself being a significant source of SOM …

Soil organic matter dynamics following land-use change remain difficult to predict because
of the complex biological, physical, and chemical mechanisms that control C turnover. We …

The environmental importance of soil organic matter (SOM) in the ecosystems and in the C
biogeochemical cycle is well established. Indeed, it represents the main terrestrial carbon …

Colloidal organo–mineral associations contribute to soil organic matter (OM) preservation
and mainly occur in two forms:(i) as water-dispersible colloids that are potentially mobile …

Organic matter from surface horizons of olive grove soils under organic and conventional
management, compared to natural vegetation (undisturbed), on two contrasting geological …

Measurable soil organic carbon (SOC) fractions are recommended to be used in soil organic
matter (SOM) models to replace the conceptual pools in order to reduce uncertainty related …

Tillage has been associated with soil organic matter (SOM) decline. A case study of two
adjacent farms was conducted in eastern South Dakota. One farm used no‐till (NT) and the …

Nitrogen (N) is the prime nutrient for crop production and carbon-based functions associated
with soil quality. The objective of our study (2012 to 2019) was to evaluate the impact of …
