Association of organic matter (OM) with minerals is an important pathway in the formation of
stable OM in soil. While the importance of mineral–organic associations (MOA) in regulating …

Aims Increasing soil organic carbon (SOC) stocks is discussed as negative emission
technology with the potential to remove relevant amounts of carbon from the atmosphere. At …

Abstract 13 C CP-MAS nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) and diffuse reflectance infrared
Fourier transform (DRIFT) spectroscopies were compared for evaluating their potential to …

There is a limited knowledge on the role of soil texture and clay mineralogy in governing the
content and composition of organic matter (OM) associated with physically-separated …

Abstract Carbon sequestration in Plaggic Anthrosols is most often investigated by bulk soil
carbon inventories, without considering the form in which the carbon is stored (eg …

Atmospheric carbon dioxide levels can be mitigated by sequestering carbon in the soil.
Sequestration can be facilitated by agricultural management, but its influence is not the …

Plaggic Anthrosols are anthropogenic soils formed by former plaggen agriculture in north-
western continental Europe. Here, we present an inventory of organic carbon (OC) …

Soil organic carbon (SOC) is a major attribute of soil quality that responds to land
management activities which is also important in the regulation of global carbon (C) cycling …

Biological soil crusts (biocrusts) play an important role in the biogeochemical C-, N-and P-
cycles but there is limited knowledge about their effect on the composition and stability of …

Soil organic carbon (SOC) is the largest terrestrial carbon (C) stock, and the capacity of soils
to preserve organic C (OC) varies with many factors, including land use, soil type, and soil …
