Enhancing soil organic matter in agricultural soils has potential to contribute to climate
mitigation while also promoting soil health and resilience. However, soil carbon (C) …

Soil organic carbon (SOC) is closely tied to soil health. However, additional biological
indicators may also provide insight about C dynamics and microbial activity. We used SOC …

Forest restoration is considered among the most affordable and effective practices to
address ecosystem and biodiversity loss and mitigate the impacts of human‐induced global …

Soil health is a promising lens through which to approach land management, having the
potential to serve as a descriptor of biophysical processes and as an effective …

We determined the characteristics that render organic matter responsive to dilute
permanganate oxidation to find a mechanistic explanation for the frequently observed …

Organic fertilizer substitution (OFS) technology effectively mitigates the adverse effects of
excessive synthetic fertilizer application while promoting soil organic carbon (SOC) …

There is an increasing interest in developing agricultural management practices that support
a more nature-based, sustainable food production system. In organic systems, extracellular …

Limited information is available on the influence of cover crops (CCs) on soil nutrient cycling
and the abundance of bacterial and archaeal communities, nitrogen (N)-fixers, nitrifiers, and …

Urbanization is progressing rapidly. It can affect soils ecosystem services directly through
land management and indirectly through changes in the socioeconomic environment, which …

Fruit orchards are a major part of agricultural production, and planting cover crops (CCs) in
the row middles of these agroecosystems can increase soil nutrient availability. However, it …
