Terrestrial biomes in the US can be managed for SOC sequestration. Sequestration for
climate change adaptation and mitigation occurs when the soil C inputs are derived from …

The terrestrial biomes of the USA contain soil organic carbon (SOC) stocks determined by
the balance between carbon (C) input and output, resulting in site-specific equilibrium levels …

Soil organic carbon (SOC) sequestration is important to climate change and cropland
agriculture. Crops naturally use the greenhouse gas, carbon dioxide (CO2), from the …

Abstract Drylands occupy 6.15 billion hectares (Bha) or 47.2% of the world's land area. Of
this, 3.5 to 4.0 Bha (57%–65%) are either desertified or prone to desertification. Despite the …

Drylands cover about 4886 million hectares (Mha) in ice‐free land areas of the world. Of this,
2124 Mha is in semi‐arid regions, 2180 Mha in arid regions, and 581 Mha in extremely arid …

Soils in equilibrium with a natural forest ecosystem have high carbon (C) density. The ratio
of soil: vegetation C density increases with latitude. Land use change, particularly …

The atmospheric levels of carbon dioxide (CO2) have been due largely to the burning of
fossil fuels, deforestation, cultivation of the grasslands, drainage of the land, and land use …

The global magnitude (Pg) of soil organic carbon (SOC) is 677 to 0.3‐m, 993 to 0.5‐m, and
1,505 to 1‐m depth. Thus,~ 55% of SOC to 1‐m lies below 0.3‐m depth. Soils of …

Climate change is the hottest ecological issue in the world today. It is brought about by the
increased concentration of greenhouse gases (GHGs) in the atmosphere which act as shield …

Conversion from natural to agricultural ecosystems changes soil organic carbon (SOC)
pools; the magnitude of the changes depends on land use, management, and ecological …
