Abstract Background In the Mediterranean climate, plants have evolved under conditions of
low soil-water and nutrient availabilities and have acquired a series of adaptive traits that, in …

The current agricultural production systems in the Pampas Region have been significantly
simplified by cultivating large land areas under no tillage (NT), where soybean is the …

The responses of soil labile organic carbon fractions and enzyme activities to tillage
practices are important to address the issues of agricultural sustainability. However, how …

Abandonment of croplands ongoing on 220 million ha worldwide contributes strongly to soil
restoration by improvement of degraded properties and medium-and long-term carbon (C) …

We compared soil organic carbon (SOC) stocks and stability under two widely distributed
tree species in the Mediterranean region: Scots pine (Pinus sylvestris L.) and Pyrenean oak …

Long-term stabilisation of soil organic matter (SOM) largely depends on its interaction with
the active mineral components of soils. SOM may become associated with the mineral active …

Forests are among the largest terrestrial carbon pools that are most vulnerable to land use
and land cover change (LULC). Therefore, it is essential to manage forest ecosystems to …

Numerous approaches have been developed to isolate fast and slow cycling soil organic
carbon (SOC) pools using physical and chemical fractionation. Most of these methods are …

Estimating soil organic carbon (SOC) stocks under agriculture, assessing the importance of
their drivers and understanding the spatial distribution of SOC stocks are crucial to …

Soil organic carbon (SOC) plays the most significant role in climate change mitigation and
ecosystem productivity. However, dynamic changes in the storage and stability of SOC …
