Soil organic matter (SOM) accumulation is different in certain soil groups with differences in
parent material, degree of weathering and mineral composition. These differences are …

Optimizing nitrogen (N) fertilizer inputs in agroecosystems may be an effective strategy for
reducing greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions and improving carbon (C) sequestration. Using …

Soil is the most important terrestrial carbon (C) reservoir but is greatly impacted by land use
change (LUC). Previous analyses of LUC impacts on soil C have focused on biophysical …

Water scarcity for smallholder farming in West Africa has led to the shift of cultivation from
uplands to inland valleys. This study investigates the impacts of climate and land use/land …

Adequate understanding of the controlling factors of soil carbon (C) stock is crucial for
improving the predictability of Earth System Models in exploring terrestrial C‐climate …

Abstract The Atacama Desert is the oldest and driest desert on Earth, nevertheless traces of
life have been observed in several places, accumulating residues of organic matter (OM) in …

Woodland clearing for the expansion of low-input agriculture is an important recent land-use
change in semi-arid southern Africa. We quantified the impacts of this land-use change on …

Rice paddy conversion to vegetable production is a common agricultural practice driven by
economic benefits and shifting diets. However, little is known on the initial effects of this land …

Cropping systems in double rice paddies in subtropical region of China are under
conversion to a rice-upland rotation or upland crops production driven by economic benefits …

Conversion of native pasturelands to cultivated land led to a decline in soil fertility resulting
in low agricultural productivity. This study attempted to investigate the magnitude and rate of …
