Soil organic matter (SOM) represents a major reservoir of stored carbon (C). However,
uncertainties regarding the composition and origin of stabilized SOM hinder the …

The exchange of nutrients, energy and carbon between soil organic matter, the soil
environment, aquatic systems and the atmosphere is important for agricultural productivity …

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 …

Understanding the effects of plastic pollution in terrestrial ecosystems is a priority in
environmental research. A central aspect of this suite of pollutants is that it entails particles …

Globally, soil organic matter (SOM) contains more than three times as much carbon as either
the atmosphere or terrestrial vegetation. Yet it remains largely unknown why some SOM …

Soil organic matter (SOM) and the carbon and nutrients therein drive fundamental
submicron-to global-scale biogeochemical processes and influence carbon-climate …

Predicting and mitigating changes in soil carbon (C) stocks under global change requires a
coherent understanding of the factors regulating soil organic matter (SOM) formation and …

Soils are the most heterogeneous parts of the biosphere, with an extremely high
differentiation of properties and processes within nano-to macroscales. The spatial and …

For more than 400 million years, mycorrhizal fungi and plants have formed partnerships that
are crucial to the emergence and functioning of global ecosystems. The importance of these …

Abstract The term Blue Carbon (BC) was first coined a decade ago to describe the
disproportionately large contribution of coastal vegetated ecosystems to global carbon …
