Understanding the global patterns and controls on soil aggregation and associated organic
carbon (OC) is essential to improve soil carbon storage and mitigate climate warming. Crop …

One‐fourth of the global soil organic carbon (SOC) is stored in the boreal region, where
climate change is predicted to be faster than the global average. Planetary warming is …

It is often assumed that a homogeneous distribution of soil properties occurs in the topsoil
layer, but the vertical variation of soil properties in cultivated soils would mainly depend on …

Soil pore space can change over time due to tillage, frost, wetting and drying cycles, plant
roots, and compaction. However, a soil water retention curve (SWRC) is usually considered …

Crop production has negative effect on the biodiversity in farmlands because of less crop
varieties and intensive soil disturbance. Macrofauna are important components of the …

Soil desertification is an important factor leading to soil degradation and environmental
problems such as atmospheric or water pollution. Conservation agriculture, such as crop …

Abstract The North China Plain (NCP) is a crucial agricultural region for grain production in
China, primarily focusing on wheat and maize cultivation. However, these crop yields are …

Examining soil organic carbon (SOC) mineralization and sequestration under different
agricultural practices is pertinent to mitigate climate change and improve soil quality. Soil …

Tillage regimes directly impact soil disturbance and crop residue levels in the field,
subsequently affecting soil macrofauna abundance and diversity, crucial for maintaining soil …

The prediction of soil properties at different depths is an important research topic for
promoting the conservation of black soils and the development of precision agriculture. Mid …
