Fractionation of soil organic carbon (SOC) is crucial for mechanistic understanding and
modeling of soil organic matter decomposition and stabilization processes. It is often aimed …

Thermogravimetry is a technique measuring mass change during programmed heating. In
soil analysis, it is used for determination of content of volatile fractions, thermally labile and …

Land application of organic waste is an important alternative to landfilling and incineration
because it helps restore soil fertility and has environmental and agronomic benefits. These …

Aims In temperate forests, soils contain a large part of the ecosystem carbon that can be
partially lost or gained upon global change. Our aim was to identify the factors controlling …

In contrast to mineral topsoils, in subsoils the origin and processes leading to the formation
and stabilization of organic matter (OM) are still not well known. This study addresses the …

Physical and chemical stabilization, environmental conditions, and organic matter
composition all play vital roles in determining the persistence of soil organic matter (SOM) …

Soil respiration tests and abundance of particulate organic matter (POM) are considered as
classical indicators of the labile soil organic carbon (SOC) pool. However, there is still no …

In this work, we assess whether or not ramped thermal oxidation coupled with determination
of the radiocarbon content of the evolved CO 2 can be used to isolate distinct thermal …

Changes in global soil carbon stocks have considerable potential to influence the course of
future climate change. However, a portion of soil organic carbon (SOC) has a very long …

Partitioning soil organic carbon (SOC) into two kinetically different fractions that are stable or
active on a century scale is key for an improved monitoring of soil health and for more …
