SOC is the most important indicator of soil fertility and monitoring its space-time changes is a
prerequisite to establish strategies to reduce soil loss and preserve its quality. Here we …

Climate change is expected to have a significant impact on the wine industry, and as an
industry, it is critical that practices are evaluated to ensure opportunities to mitigate …

Litter quality determines the decomposability of litter and the proportion of recalcitrant
residues, which in turn can affect the accumulation of soil organic carbon (SOC). However …

Abandonment of croplands ongoing on 220 million ha worldwide contributes strongly to soil
restoration by improvement of degraded properties and medium-and long-term carbon (C) …

Marginal land conversion to perennial energy crops can provide biomass feedstocks and
climate change mitigation. However, the effect of perennial energy crop cultivation on soil …

Plant invasion has been reported to modify ecosystem carbon (C) and nitrogen (N) cycling
processes and pools. The aims of this work were to identify the consequences of plant …

The aim of this paper is to evaluate the efficiency of the PES scheme actually used in the
Sicilian rural development program, based on an egalitarian criterion, and proposing an …

Abandonment of agricultural land and the subsequent recolonization by natural vegetation
is known to cause increases in C contents, contributing to reduction in atmospheric CO 2 …

The stability and turnover of soil organic matter (SOM) are a very important but poorly
understood part of carbon (C) cycling. Conversion of C3 grassland to the C4 energy crop …

Efficient modelling methods to assess soil organic carbon (SOC) stocks have a pivotal
importance as inputs for global carbon cycle studies and decision-making processes …
