Global climate change has resulted in changes to the earth's geological, ecological, and
biological ecosystems, which pose a severe threat to the existence of human civilization and …

Increased crop yield is a commonly reported benefit of adding biochar to soils. However,
experimental results are variable and dependent on the experimental set-up, soil properties …

Soil is the largest terrestrial reservoir of organic carbon and is central for climate change
mitigation and carbon-climate feedbacks. Chemical and physical associations of soil carbon …

Soil organic matter (SOM) accumulation is different in certain soil groups with differences in
parent material, degree of weathering and mineral composition. These differences are …

Identifying controls on soil organic carbon (SOC) storage, and where SOC is most
vulnerable to loss, are essential to managing soils for both climate change mitigation and …

A review has been undertaken into how soil organic matter (SOM) affects a range of soil
properties that are important for the productive capacity of soils. The potential effect of …

Linkages between soil structure and physical–chemical soil properties are still poorly
understood due to the wide size-range at which aggregation occurs and the variety of …

No‐tillage (NT) has been shown to control soil degradation by impacting soil aggregates (ie,
basic units of soil structure, whose characteristics mediate key soil processes, like carbon …

Soil water erosion and shallow landslides depend on aggregate stability and soil shear
strength. We investigated the effect of vegetation on both soil aggregate stability and shear …

This chapter, like Churchman (2000), seeks to bring readers up to date with information and
understanding about the alteration of minerals and the nature of their products in the context …
