Enhancing the terrestrial ecosystem carbon sink (referred to as terrestrial C sink) is an
important way to slow down the continuous increase in atmospheric carbon dioxide (CO2) …

Due to their substantial volume, subsoils contain more of the total soil carbon (C) pool than
topsoils. Much of this C is thousands of years old, suggesting that subsoils offer …

Abstract The new European Green Deal has the ambition to make the European Union the
first climate-neutral continent by 2050. The European Commission presented an ambitious …

Biochar, a carbon (C)-rich material obtained from the thermochemical conversion of biomass
under oxygen-limited environments, has been proposed as one of the most promising …

While agricultural systems are a major pillar in global food security, their productivity is
currently threatened by many environmental issues triggered by anthropogenic climate …

Mechanisms of soil organic carbon (SOC) stabilization have been widely studied due to their
relevance in the global carbon cycle. No‐till (NT) has been frequently adopted to sequester …

Scientific and political discussions around the role of animal-source foods (ASFs) in healthy
and environmentally sustainable diets are often polarizing. To bring clarity to this important …

Studies of the decomposition, transformation and stabilization of soil organic matter (SOM)
