To achieve long‐term increases in soil organic carbon (SOC) storage, it is essential to
understand the effects of carbon management strategies on SOC formation pathways …

Arbuscular mycorrhizal (AM) fungi play an important role in soil organic matter (SOM)
formation and stabilization. Previous studies have emphasized organic compounds …

Soil organic matter (SOM) is comprised of a diverse array of reactive carbon molecules,
including hydrophilic and hydrophobic compounds, that impact rates of SOM formation and …

The persistence of soil organic carbon (SOC) is primarily driven by microbial metabolic
activities; however, how microbial effects on SOC sequestration are affected by soil nutrient …

Soil, as a primary repository of plastic debris, faces an escalating influx of microplastics.
Microplastics have the potential to decrease soil bulk density and pH, as well as alter soil …

The ongoing global warming is causing paddy soil to come under threat by hitherto unseen
levels of carbon and nitrogen loss. The mechanism of soil organic matter (SOM) components …

Abstract Background and Aims Climate change is happening and causing severe impact on
the sustainability of agroecosystems. We argue that many of the abiotic stresses associated …

The cycle of life and death and Earth's carbon cycle (s) are intimately linked, yet how
bacterial cells, one of the largest pools of biomass on Earth, are recycled back into the …

Manipulating microorganisms to increase soil organic carbon (SOC) in croplands remains a
challenge. Soil microbes are important drivers of SOC sequestration, especially via their …

Mineral‐associated soil organic matter (MAOM) is the largest, slowest cycling pool of carbon
(C) in the terrestrial biosphere. MAOM is primarily derived from plant and microbial sources …
