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 …

Land degradation has become one of the biggest environmental challenges human society
is currently facing, which is why understanding the global pattern of this land crisis is …

The capacity of soils to store organic carbon represents a key function of soils that is not only
decisive for climate regulation but also affects other soil functions. Recent efforts to assess …

Human activity and related land use change are the primary cause of accelerated soil
erosion, which has substantial implications for nutrient and carbon cycling, land productivity …

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 …

Soil erosion in agricultural landscapes reduces crop yields, leads to loss of ecosystem
services, and influences the global carbon cycle. Despite decades of soil erosion research …

Background The loss of carbon (C) from agricultural soils has been, in part, attributed to
tillage, a common practice providing a number of benefits to farmers. The promotion of less …

The effects of topography, land cover type, and soil physicochemical properties on the
distribution of soil organic carbon (SOC) and total nitrogen (TN) have drawn growing …

Most of Earth's terrestrial surface is made up of slo** landscapes. The lateral distribution
of topsoil by erosion controls the availability, stock, and persistence of essential elements in …

Soil hydrological properties and aggregate stability are strongly impacted by erosion and
management practices. However, magnitudes of the erosion-induced changes in topsoil …
