Biogeochemical processes controlling nitrate attenuation in aquifers are critically reviewed.
An understanding of the fate of nitrate in groundwater is vital for managing risks associated …

Despite that dissolved organic matter (DOM) and water-extractable organic matter (WEOM)
represent only a small part of soil organic matter, they appear to be involved in many soil …

Deforestation usually results in significant losses of soil organic carbon (SOC). The rate and
factors determining the recovery of this C pool with afforestation are still poorly understood …

Soil and crop management practices have a profound impact on carbon (C) sequestration,
but the mechanisms of interaction between soil structure and soil organic C (SOC) dynamics …

The movement of dissolved organic carbon (DOC) through soils is an important process for
the transport of carbon within ecosystems and the formation of soil organic matter. In some …

The resolution of the Kyoto Protocol to include effects of land use and land-use change in
global carbon budgets has put focus on C sequestration following afforestation of former …

Greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions constitute a global problem. The need for agricultural
involvement in GHG mitigation has been widely recognized since the 1990s. The concept of …

Applying biochar to agricultural soils has been proposed as a means of sequestering carbon
(C) while simultaneously enhancing soil health and agricultural sustainability. However, our …

Pastures store over 90% of their carbon and nitrogen below-ground as soil organic matter. In
contrast, temperate conifer forests often store large amounts of organic matter above-ground …

Interest in producing cellulosic ethanol from renewable energy sources is growing. Potential
energy crops include row crops such as corn (Zea mays L.), perennial warm‐season …
