Soil organic matter formation, persistence, and functioning: A synthesis of current understanding to inform its conservation and regeneration
MF Cotrufo, JM Lavallee - Advances in agronomy, 2022 - Elsevier
Soil organic matter (SOM) provides vital services to humanity. Its preservation and further
accrual are key to sustain food production and avoid an irreversible climate crisis. Here we …

Retention of soil organic matter by occlusion within soil minerals
The stabilization of soil organic matter is crucial for global carbon cycling processes as soil
stores large amounts of organic carbon. The occlusion of SOM within minerals sequesters …

Fast-decaying plant litter enhances soil carbon in temperate forests but not through microbial physiological traits
Conceptual and empirical advances in soil biogeochemistry have challenged long-held
assumptions about the role of soil micro-organisms in soil organic carbon (SOC) dynamics; …

Persistent soil carbon enhanced in Mollisols by well-managed grasslands but not annual grain or dairy forage cropping systems
Intensive crop production on grassland-derived Mollisols has liberated massive amounts of
carbon (C) to the atmosphere. Whether minimizing soil disturbance, diversifying crop …

Nitrogen availability mediates soil carbon cycling response to climate warming: A meta‐analysis
Global climate warming may induce a positive feedback through increasing soil carbon (C)
release to the atmosphere. Although warming can affect both C input to and output from soil …

The nitrogen gap in soil health concepts and fertility measurements
Soil nitrogen (N) often limits productivity in agroecosystems, prompting fertilizer applications
that increase crop yields but can degrade the environment. Nitrogen's dual role in both …

Reproducible growth of Brachypodium in EcoFAB 2.0 reveals that nitrogen form and starvation modulate root exudation
Understanding plant-microbe interactions requires examination of root exudation under
nutrient stress using standardized and reproducible experimental systems. We grew …

[HTML][HTML] Leached nitrate under fertilised loamy soil originates mainly from mineralisation of soil organic N
Animal manures are suspected to be a major source of nitrate leaching due to their low
nitrogen use efficiency (NUE) by crops. However, actual measurements of nitrate leaching …
