Soil organic matter (OM) represents a key C pool for climate regulation but also an essential
component for soil functions and services. Scientific research in the 21st century has …

The international 4 per 1000 initiative aims at supporting states and non-governmental
stakeholders in their efforts towards a better management of soil carbon (C) stocks. These …

Soil aggregation is considered as a crucial process in agro-system sustainability due to the
role in soil physical, chemical and biological dynamics. Here we tested the hypothesis that …

Formation and Properties of Clay-Polymer Complexes provides a comprehensive account of
the reactions between clay minerals and organic polymers. The book opens with a …

The second edition of The Chemistry of Clay-Organic Reactions book provides a
comprehensive and fully updated summary of the literature on the interactions of clay …

Andosols (or Andisols) possess several distinctive properties that are rarely found in other
groups of soils. These properties are largely due to the dominance of short-range-ordered …

Soils retain large quantities of carbon, thereby slowing its return to the atmosphere. The
mechanisms governing organic carbon sequestration in soil remain poorly understood, yet …

Andic soils contain a large amount of stabilised soil organic matter (SOM). The present study
aims to review and integrate the determining factors and mechanisms of SOM stabilisation in …

Soil organic carbon (SOC) stocks are controlled by factors with varying degrees of
importance at different spatial scales. In this study, soil data were collected from recently …

Soil biological activity has important implications for soil carbon (C) sequestration. However,
very little is known about the environmental factors, particularly the effect of soil mineralogy …
