Multiple nutrient deficiencies related to severe soil fertility depletion have emerged as the
major constraint to the sustainability of agriculture on a global scale. Use of biochar and …

There is growing international interest in better managing soils to increase soil organic
carbon (SOC) content to contribute to climate change mitigation, to enhance resilience to …

The current review investigates the hypothesis that dormant soil microorganisms are
relevant for microbial processes and community changes. Dormant soil microorganisms are …

Simulation models represent soil organic carbon (SOC) dynamics in global carbon (C) cycle
scenarios to support climate‐change studies. It is imperative to increase confidence in long …

To limit warming to well below 2° C, most scenario projections rely on greenhouse gas
removal technologies (GGRTs); one such GGRT uses soil carbon sequestration (SCS) in …

Aims Increasing soil organic carbon (SOC) stocks is discussed as negative emission
technology with the potential to remove relevant amounts of carbon from the atmosphere. At …

The ratio of soil organic carbon stock (SOC) to annual carbon input gives an estimate of the
mean residence time of organic carbon that enters the soil (MRTOC). It indicates how …

Reliable models predicting soil organic carbon (SOC) evolution are required to better
manage cropping systems with the objectives of mitigating climate change and improving …

Below ground carbon (BGC) inputs to soil, ie root biomass and rhizodeposition carbon (C),
are among the most important variables driving soil C dynamics in agroecosystems. Hence …

Assessments of the global carbon (C) cycle typically rely on simplified models which
consider large areas as homogeneous in terms of the response of soils to land use or …
