Air-drying and wetting of air-dried soil samples with water (ie, rewetting) are widely used
sample treatments in soil analyses. It is recognized that both air-drying and rewetting of soil …

Soil carbon sequestration arises from the interplay of carbon input and stabilization, which
vary in space and time. Assessing the resulting microscale carbon distribution in an intact …

Application of ultrasound to disperse soil aggregates has been critical in enabling
researchers to separate and analyze aggregate building blocks that include organic and …

Sequestering soil carbon (C) relies upon the availability of stabilising elements, nitrogen (N),
phosphorus (P) and sulphur (S) which are known to be essential components of the stable …

We investigated the effects of substrate (cellulose or starch) and different clay contents on
the production of microbial extracellular polymeric substances (EPS) and concomitant …

Mangroves are increasingly recognized as an important component of regional and global
carbon cycles especially for their high carbon storage capacity. Global estimation of …

Biophysicochemical rhizosheath properties play a vital role in plant drought adaptation.
However, their integration into the framework of plant drought response is hampered by …

Cover crops are increasingly incorporated into crop rotations to improve soil health including
the postulated positive impact on soil organic carbon (SOC) storage. However, a consistent …

Radiocarbon is a critical constraint on our estimates of the timescales of soil carbon cycling
that can aid in identifying mechanisms of carbon stabilization and destabilization and …

Quantifying changes in soil organic carbon (SOC) is essential for understanding the effect of
managements on carbon (C) sequestration, especially in cultivated marginal lands. The …
