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 …

To improve soil health and to aid in climate change mitigation, the quantity of soil organic
matter (SOM) should be maintained or increased over the long run. In doing so, not only the …

Soil organic matter (SOM) accumulation is different in certain soil groups with differences in
parent material, degree of weathering and mineral composition. These differences are …

Soil carbon dynamics is strongly controlled by depth globally, with increasingly slow
dynamics found at depth. The mechanistic basis remains however controversial, limiting our …

The effects of cropland abandonment on soil enzyme activity and soil organic carbon (SOC)
stability, along with the driving factors, are poorly understood. Here, we aimed to …

Abstract Knowledge of the soil organic carbon components and enzyme activities during
long‐term natural vegetation restoration is essential for managing the restoration of …

Soil organic matter (SOM) plays a critical role in terrestrial ecosystem functioning and is
closely related to many global issues like soil fertility, soil health and climate regulation …

Forest soils play a critical role in carbon (C) reservoirs and climate change mitigation
globally. Exploring the driving factors of soil organic carbon (SOC) concentration and …

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 …

Soil organic carbon (SOC) stocks are a remarkable property for soil and environmental
monitoring. The understanding of their dynamics in crop soils must go forward. The objective …
