Conventional farming practices can lead to soil degradation and a decline in productivity.
Regenerative agriculture (RA) is purported by advocates as a solution to these issues that …

Despite the recognized importance of the contribution of microbial necromass to soil organic
carbon (SOC) sequestration, at a global scale, there has been no quantification for cropland …

Healthy soils are critical to the health of ecosystems, economies, and human populations.
Thus, it is widely acknowledged that soil health is important to quantify, both for assessment …

Global changes can alter plant inputs from both above‐and belowground, which, thus, may
differently affect soil carbon and microbial communities. However, the general patterns of …
