In the natural environment, soil pH has an enormous influence on soil biogeochemical
processes. Soil pH is, therefore, described as the “master soil variable” that influences …

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 …

Manure application to agricultural soils is widely considered as a source of nutrients and a
method of maintaining levels of soil organic carbon (SOC) to mitigate climate change. At …

Dissolved organic matter (DOM) is defined as the organic matter fraction in solution that
passes through a 0.45 μm filter. Although DOM is ubiquitous in terrestrial and aquatic …

Lignins are amongst the most studied macromolecules in natural environments. During the
last decades, lignins were considered as important components for the carbon cycle in soils …

In soils, dissolved organic matter (DOM) is probably the most bioavailable fraction of soil
organic matter, since all microbial uptake mechanisms require a water environment …

Soil degradation is significantly increased driven by soil nutrient loss and soil erodibility,
thus, hampering the sustainable development of the ecological environment and agricultural …

In wetlands, large quantities of dissolved organic matter (DOM) are solubilized under
reducing conditions. Controlled incubations of a wetland soil were performed under oxic and …

Grasslands occupy about 40% of the world's land surface and store approximately 10% of
the global soil organic carbon (SOC) stock. This SOC pool, in which a larger proportion is …

Significant increase in soil organic carbon (SOC) has been found in Chinese croplands.
Current literature largely attributes this to the increased organic C inputs from manure, crop …
