Microbial communities and soil organic carbon (SOC) fractions are sensitive indicators for
monitoring soil quality and crop yield. But the effects of fertilization on relationship between …

Purpose Mollisols are the most fertile, high-yielding soils in the world. During the past
several decades, Mollisols have lost about 50% of their antecedent organic carbon (C) pool …

Careful nutrient management to increase soil organic carbon (SOC) content is important in
increasing agricultural productivity and maintaining ecosystem health. A field experiment …

Long-term fertilization has been recognized as a key factor controlling soil organic carbon
(SOC) and crop yields at various scales. Therefore, the impact of long-term nutrient …

Long-term fertilization has shown a high relevance as regards soil organic carbon (SOC)
sequestration, but the degree of stability of the sequestered SOC has not been widely …

Cover cropping can improve soil C sequestration compared to no cover cropping, but the
mechanism of C sequestration in soil aggregates and minerals needs more exploration. We …

Long term fertilization may have a significant effect on soil organic carbon (SOC) fractions
and profile distribution. However, previous research mostly explored the SOC in the topsoil …

Reports regarding the effects of long-term organic and inorganic fertilization on the quantity
and quality of soil organic carbon (SOC), particularly in Vertisols, are scarce. In this study …

Long-term nitrogen (N) fertilization affects soil aggregation and localizations of soil organic
carbon (SOC), N and microbial parameters within aggregates. The mechanisms of these N …

Crop productivity and soil health are limited by organic carbon (OC), however, the variations
in the mechanisms of SOC preservation in a complete soil profile subjected to long-term …
