Agronomic practices such as crop residue return and additional nutrient supply are
recommended to increase soil organic carbon (SOC) in arable farmlands. However …

Strategies for mitigating soil organic carbon (SOC) losses in intensively managed
agricultural systems typically draw from traditional concepts of soil organic matter formation …

a bstract Efforts to manage soils for carbon (C) sequestration remain limited by our
understanding of how differences in plant traits and microbial traits mechanistically drive soil …

Microbial biomass plays a critical role in soil organic carbon (SOC) mineralization. However,
the effects of microbial biomass size on SOC mineralization are poorly understood. We …

The impact of elevated CO2 on leaf-litter and root exudate production may alter soil carbon
storage capacities for the future. In particular when so-called 'priming effects', the …

Organic matter input to soils can accelerate the decomposition of native soil carbon (C), a
process called the priming effect. Priming is ubiquitous and exhibits some consistent …

Altered rates of native soil organic matter (SOM) mineralisation in the presence of labile C
substrate ('priming'), is increasingly recognised as central to the coupling of plant and soil …

Increasing soil organic carbon (SOC) storage is a key strategy to mitigate rising atmospheric
CO2, yet SOC pools often appear to saturate, or increase at a declining rate, as carbon (C) …

Carbon and nutrient inputs are required to stimulate the formation and mineralization of soil
organic carbon (SOC) through processes related to microbial growth and priming effects …

Soil organic carbon (SOC) has significant implications in regulating soil health. Emerging
insights emphasize the important role of microbial anabolism in SOC storage by …
