Organic matter accumulation in soil is understood as the result of the dynamics between
mineral‐associated (more decomposed, microbial derived) organic matter and free …

Soil organic carbon is a crucial parameter for assessing soil quality, and it significantly
contributes to soil aggregation. However, the influence of different organic carbon …

Large proglacial lakes could have been a significant methane source during the last
deglaciation. Today, proglacial lakes are small and mostly limited in the northern …

Abstract In sub-Saharan Africa, maize is one of the most important staple crops, but long-
term maize cropping with low external inputs has been associated with the loss of soil …

Characterizing the distribution and dynamics of organic carbon in soil is critical for
quantifying changes in the global carbon cycle. In particular, weathering controls on near …

As the urgency to address climate change intensifies, the exploration of sustainable
negative emission technologies becomes imperative. Enhanced weathering (EW) …

Sustainable intensification schemes such as integrated soil fertility management (ISFM) are
a proposed strategy to close yield gaps, increase soil fertility, and achieve food security in …

Background and aims Most studies of the relationships between the composition of soil
organic matter and plant cover have been carried out at the plant genera level. However …

Soil microbial traits and functions play a central role in soil organic carbon (SOC) dynamics.
However, at the macroscale (regional to global) it is still unresolved whether (i) specific …

Soil organic carbon (SOC) is significantly affected by land use change (LUC). Consequently,
LUC is a major controlling factor of total SOC contents and SOC pool dynamics. Several …
