Soil organic matter (OM) represents a key C pool for climate regulation but also an essential
component for soil functions and services. Scientific research in the 21st century has …

Tillage has been reported to reduce organic matter concentrations and increase organic
matter turnover rates to a variable extent. The change of soil climate and the incorporation of …

The exchange of carbon between soil organic carbon (SOC) and the atmosphere affects the
climate, and—because of the importance of organic matter to soil fertility—agricultural …

Despite their low carbon (C) content, most subsoil horizons contribute to more than half of
the total soil C stocks, and therefore need to be considered in the global C cycle. Until …

In the last 80 years, a number of mathematical models of different level of complexity have
been developed to describe biogeochemical processes in soils, spanning spatial scales …

Soil organic matter (SOM) is an important natural resource. It is fundamental to soil and
ecosystem functions across a wide range of scales, from site-specific soil fertility and water …

▪ Abstract The global soil C reservoir,∼ 1500 Gt of C (1 Gt= 1012 kg of C), is dynamic on
decadal time scales and is sensitive to climate and human disturbance. At present, as a …

The response of soil carbon dynamics to climate and land‐use change will affect both the
future climate and the quality of ecosystems. Deep soil carbon (> 20 cm) is the primary …

Soil is the largest terrestrial carbon reservoir and may influence the sign and magnitude of
carbon cycle–climate feedbacks. Many Earth system models (ESMs) estimate a significant …

Soils are a crucial component of the Earth system; they comprise a large portion of terrestrial
carbon stocks, mediate the supply and demand of nutrients, and influence the overall …
