Evidence and attribution of the enhanced land carbon sink

S Ruehr, TF Keenan, C Williams, Y Zhou, X Lu… - Nature Reviews Earth & …, 2023 - nature.com
Climate change has been partially mitigated by an increasing net land carbon sink in the
terrestrial biosphere; understanding the processes that drive this sink is thus essential for …

[HTML][HTML] The deep soil organic carbon response to global change

CE Hicks Pries, R Ryals, B Zhu, K Min… - Annual Review of …, 2023 - annualreviews.org
Over 70% of soil organic carbon (SOC) is stored at a depth greater than 20 cm belowground.
A portion of this deep SOC actively cycles on annual to decadal timescales and is sensitive …

Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC). Global carbon and other biogeochemical cycles and feedbacks

JG Canadell, PMS Monteiro, MH Costa… - Climate change 2021 …, 2023 - cambridge.org
It is unequivocal that the increases in atmospheric carbon dioxide (CO2), methane (CH4)

Changes in plant inputs alter soil carbon and microbial communities in forest ecosystems

J Feng, K He, Q Zhang, M Han, B Zhu - Global Change Biology, 2022 - Wiley Online Library
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 …

Effects of coastal wetland reclamation on soil organic carbon, total nitrogen, and total phosphorus in China: a meta‐analysis

T Zhang, B Song, G Han, H Zhao, Q Hu… - Land Degradation & …, 2023 - Wiley Online Library
The reclamation of coastal wetlands for agriculture has expanded considerably over the last
40 years in China. Wetland reclamation could substantially alter soil properties, but so far, a …

The age distribution of global soil carbon inferred from radiocarbon measurements

Z Shi, SD Allison, Y He, PA Levine, AM Hoyt… - Nature …, 2020 - nature.com
Soils contain more carbon than the atmosphere and vegetation combined. An increased

ecosystems worldwide. N deposition can stimulate plant growth and soil carbon (C) input …

Soil carbon loss with warming: New evidence from carbon‐degrading enzymes

JI Chen, L Elsgaard, KJ van Groenigen… - Global change …, 2020 - Wiley Online Library
Climate warming affects soil carbon (C) dynamics, with possible serious consequences for
soil C stocks and atmospheric CO2 concentrations. However, the mechanisms underlying …

Multiple models and experiments underscore large uncertainty in soil carbon dynamics

BN Sulman, JAM Moore, R Abramoff, C Averill, S Kivlin… - Biogeochemistry, 2018 - Springer
Soils contain more carbon than plants or the atmosphere, and sensitivities of soil organic
carbon (SOC) stocks to changing climate and plant productivity are a major uncertainty in …
