Unlocking complex soil systems as carbon sinks: multi-pool management as the key
Much research focuses on increasing carbon storage in mineral-associated organic matter
(MAOM), in which carbon may persist for centuries to millennia. However, MAOM-targeted …

Soil carbon sequestration by root exudates
Root exudates are well-known 'labile'sources of soil carbon that can prime microbial activity.
Recent investigations suggest that the stability of labile carbon inputs in soil mostly depends …

Dynamic interactions at the mineral–organic matter interface
Minerals are widely assumed to protect organic matter (OM) from degradation in the
environment, promoting the persistence of carbon in soil and sediments. In this Review, we …

Soil organic matter formation, persistence, and functioning: A synthesis of current understanding to inform its conservation and regeneration
MF Cotrufo, JM Lavallee - Advances in agronomy, 2022 - Elsevier
Soil organic matter (SOM) provides vital services to humanity. Its preservation and further
accrual are key to sustain food production and avoid an irreversible climate crisis. Here we …

Fast-decaying plant litter enhances soil carbon in temperate forests but not through microbial physiological traits
Conceptual and empirical advances in soil biogeochemistry have challenged long-held
assumptions about the role of soil micro-organisms in soil organic carbon (SOC) dynamics; …

Linking root exudation to belowground economic traits for resource acquisition
The concept of a root economics space (RES) is increasingly adopted to explore root trait
variation and belowground resource‐acquisition strategies. Much progress has been made …

Integrating the evidence for a terrestrial carbon sink caused by increasing atmospheric CO2
Atmospheric carbon dioxide concentration ([CO2]) is increasing, which increases leaf‐scale
photosynthesis and intrinsic water‐use efficiency. These direct responses have the potential …

A starting guide to root ecology: strengthening ecological concepts and standardising root classification, sampling, processing and trait measurements
In the context of a recent massive increase in research on plant root functions and their
impact on the environment, root ecologists currently face many important challenges to keep …
