Almost half of the total organic carbon (C) in terrestrial ecosystems is stored in forest soils.
By altering rates of input or release of C from soils, forest management activities can …

Improving soil water holding capacity (WHC) through conservation agriculture (CA)-
practices, ie, minimum mechanical soil disturbance, crop diversification, and soil mulch …

Soil texture is an essential component of soil survey for estimating potentials and limitations
of land use and management. It has been appreciated as an important predictor for …

Increasing the potential of soil to store carbon (C) is an acknowledged and emphasized
strategy for capturing atmospheric CO2. Well-recognized approaches for soil C accretion …

Plant roots are the main supplier of carbon (C) to the soil, the largest terrestrial C reservoir.
Soil pore structure drives root growth, yet how it affects belowground C inputs remains a …

Soil stores more carbon (C) than all vegetation and the atmosphere combined. Soil C stocks
are broadly shaped by temperature, moisture, soil physical characteristics, vegetation, and …

Water is a crucial factor controlling the fate and processing of soil organics. Water commonly
flows through the vadose zone via preferential flow pathways, resulting in nonuniform and …

Highlights•Reciprocal interactions between the microbiome and the plant can shape the
foundation of the MicrobiHome.•Soil pore sizes along roots generate differently sized 'rooms' …

Perennial vegetation with high plant diversity, eg, restored prairie, is known for stimulation of
soil carbon (C) gains, due in part to enhanced formation of pore structure beneficial for long …

Root detritusphere is one of the most important sources of N 2 O, however, understanding of
how N 2 O emission from the detritusphere is influenced by soil properties remains elusive …
