The capacity of soils to store organic carbon represents a key function of soils that is not only
decisive for climate regulation but also affects other soil functions. Recent efforts to assess …

Mechanisms of soil organic carbon (SOC) stabilization have been widely studied due to their
relevance in the global carbon cycle. No‐till (NT) has been frequently adopted to sequester …

Soil contains approximately 2344Gt (1 gigaton= 1 billion tonnes) of organic carbon globally
and is the largest terrestrial pool of organic carbon. Small changes in the soil organic carbon …

This review addresses the applicability of visible (Vis), near-infrared (NIR), and mid-infrared
(MIR) reflectance spectroscopy for the prediction of soil properties. We address (1) the …

The soil science community is facing a growing demand of regional, continental, and
worldwide databases in order to monitor the status of the soil. However, the availability of …

Land-use changes (LUC) influence the balance of soil organic carbon (SOC) and hence
may cause CO2 emissions or sequestration. In Europe there is a side by side of LUC types …

Due to its recalcitrance against microbial degradation, biochar is very stable in soil
compared to other organic matter additions, making its application to soils a suitable …

Grasslands occupy about 40% of the world's land surface and store approximately 10% of
the global soil organic carbon (SOC) stock. This SOC pool, in which a larger proportion is …

Soil organic matter (SOM) consists of a vast range of biomolecules, but their individual
contribution to the biogeochemical cycling of nutrients and CO 2 release has eluded …

This review covers the current and emerging analytical methods used in laboratory, field,
landscape and regional contexts for measuring soil organic carbon (SOC) sequestration in …
