The deep soil organic carbon response to global change
Over 70% of soil organic carbon (SOC) is stored at a depth greater than 20 cm belowground.
A portion of this deep SOC actively cycles on annual to decadal timescales and is sensitive …

Modeling ecosystem-scale carbon dynamics in soil: the microbial dimension
J Schimel - Soil Biology and Biochemistry, 2023 - Elsevier
In predicting how soil C fluxes and stocks will change with the environment, models are a
