Biogas slurry (BS) is an attractive agricultural waste resource which can be used to regulate
soil microbial communities, enhance nutrient absorption capacity of crops, promote plant …

Soil organic carbon (SOC) is an important pool in the global carbon cycle, playing a vital role
in moderating atmospheric CO 2 concentrations. Soil is the largest carbon pool in terrestrial …

Fractured rock aquifers are susceptible to contamination, with metal (loid) s rapidly migrating
from poorly developed overburden to the fractured rock vadose zone and thus into …

Highlights•Biogas slurry was able to promote the availability of C4 components.•Corn plants
were able to increase soil FDOM content over a certain period.•The HIX index of BS was the …

Purpose Soil metal (loid) pollution poses a severe threat to human health. Specifically,
oxyanions such as arsenic (As) and antimony (Sb) have entered soil through historical …

Soil carbon pool stability plays an important role in reaching carbon neutrality and mitigating
global warming. Applying soil amendments is a practical strategy in agricultural production …

This study investigates the variations of aggregate-associated organic carbon (OC) and
microbial respiration (MR) with respect to aggregate size, soil depth, and land altitude in a …

Subtropical forests are considerable carbon sinks in the northern hemisphere, yet are
increasingly suffering from the impact of extreme drought. To better understand the …

Soil aggregates are generally thought to be the nucleus of all carbon sequestration
mechanisms. However, the Loess Plateau, a typical region where a fragile ecosystem has …

Climate change is causing an increase in the frequency and severity of drought, and this has
a significant influence on the global C cycle as soils are the main sink for C in terrestrial …
