Much research focuses on increasing carbon storage in mineral-associated organic matter
(MAOM), in which carbon may persist for centuries to millennia. However, MAOM-targeted …

Soil organic matter (SOM) represents a major reservoir of stored carbon (C). However,
uncertainties regarding the composition and origin of stabilized SOM hinder the …

The capacity of soils to store organic carbon represents a key function of soils that is not only
decisive for climate regulation but also affects other soil functions. Recent efforts to assess …

China exemplifies the serious and widespread soil heavy metal pollution generated by
mining activities. A total of 420 soil samples from 58 metal mines was collected across …

The large-scale vegetation restoration project on the Loess Plateau increased the
ecosystem carbon (C) stocks and affected C budget in arid and semi-arid ecosystems. The …

Field nutrients management practices influence soil biological properties and organic matter
fractions. A long-term experiment (30-year) was conducted to investigate changes in soil …

Background Climate change constitutes a complex challenge posing an urgent threat to our
planet and life and creating an entirely different way of conceptualising the world and our …

Agricultural lands occupy 37% of the earth's land surface. Agriculture accounts for 52 and
84% of global anthropogenic methane and nitrous oxide emissions. Agricultural soils may …

Estimation of carbon contents and stocks are important for carbon sequestration,
greenhouse gas emissions and national carbon balance inventories. For Denmark, we …

Soil carbon sequestration (enhanced sinks) is the mechanism responsible for most of the
greenhouse gas (GHG) mitigation potential in the agriculture sector. Carbon sequestration in …
