Soil organic carbon management has the potential to aid climate change mitigation through
drawdown of atmospheric carbon dioxide. To be effective, such management must account …

Over 70% of soil organic carbon (SOC) is stored at a depth greater than 20 cm belowground.
A portion of this deep SOC actively cycles on annual to decadal timescales and is sensitive …

Despite the recognized importance of the contribution of microbial necromass to soil organic
carbon (SOC) sequestration, at a global scale, there has been no quantification for cropland …

Microbes regulate the composition and turnover of organic matter. Here we developed a
framework called Energy-Diversity-Trait integrative Analysis to quantify how dissolved …

Soil organic matter (SOM) is correlated with reactive iron (Fe) in humid soils, but Fe also
promotes SOM decomposition when oxygen (O2) becomes limited. Here we quantify Fe …

Although our understanding of the effects of microplastics on the dynamics of soil organic
matter (SOM) has considerably advanced in recent years, the fundamental mechanisms …

Arbuscular mycorrhizal (AM) fungi play an important role in soil organic matter (SOM)
formation and stabilization. Previous studies have emphasized organic compounds …

Dissolved organic matter (DOM) plays a vital role in biogeochemical processes and in
determining the responses of soil organic matter (SOM) to global change. Although the …

The paucity of investigations of carbon (C) dynamics through the soil profile with warming
makes it challenging to evaluate the terrestrial C feedback to climate change. Soil microbes …

Enhancing soil organic matter in agricultural soils has potential to contribute to climate
mitigation while also promoting soil health and resilience. However, soil carbon (C) …
