Soil organic matter (SOM) represents a major reservoir of stored carbon (C). However,
uncertainties regarding the composition and origin of stabilized SOM hinder the …

Mechanisms to mitigate global climate change by sequestering carbon (C) in different 'sinks'
have been proposed as at least temporary measures. Of the major global C pools, terrestrial …

Climate‐smart agriculture (CSA) management practices (eg, conservation tillage, cover
crops, and biochar applications) have been widely adopted to enhance soil organic carbon …

Soil pH is often hypothesized to be a major factor regulating organic matter turnover and
inorganic nitrogen production in agricultural soils. The aim of this study was to critically test …

Sequestration of soil organic carbon (SOC) is regarded as a promising approach to offset
global CO 2 emissions. Deep tillage (DT) can alleviate high soil strength, influencing both …

Carbon (C) is a key constitutive element in living organisms (plants, microbes, animals, and
humans). Carbon is also a basic component of agriculture because it plays a dynamic role in …

Recent carbon inventories have shown that significant amounts of soil organic matter (SOM),
even though at low concentrations, can be stored in the subsoil (B and C horizons). Its …

The dynamics of soil organic carbon are included in global carbon (C) cycle scenarios using
different, but generally arbitrary defined, kinetic pools. To improve global C models, better …

Humic Substances color all waters more or less brown. Their concentrations exceed all
carbon of living organisms by at least one order of magnitude. Opposite to former …

Molecular fossils (biomarkers) are abundant in organic rich natural archives such as peats
and lignites (fossilized peat), where their distribution is governed by their biological source …
