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

Fauna is highly abundant and diverse in soils worldwide, but surprisingly little is known
about how it affects soil organic matter stabilization. Here, we review how the ecological …

Soil aggregates are the key functional units of soil ecosystems which are essential to
biogeochemical cycling and plant growth. However, it remains unclear how fertilization …

Soil microbial communities are responsive to biochar application. However, few studies
have investigated the synergistic effects of biochar application in the restoration of degraded …

Organic amendments can stimulate soil organic carbon (SOC) mineralization and soil
aggregation simultaneously, which can improve C sequestration and soil fertility. However …

The soil nitrogen (N) and phosphorus (P) availability often constrains soil carbon (C) pool,
and elevated N deposition could further intensify soil P limitation, which may affect soil C …

Biochar can be effectively used in soil amendment, environmental remediation as well as
carbon sequestration. However, some inherent characteristics of pristine biochars (PBCs) …

Cost–effective and environment–friendly implementation techniques are critical to the
success of remediation in large–scale cadmium (Cd) contaminated agricultural soil. Field …

Problems Global demand for food continues to grow as a result of rising incomes and
population growth. Meanwhile, the sustainability of food production is affected by climate …

Biochar (BC) application represents a promising soil management strategy for mitigating
CO2 and N2O emissions; however, as concurrent soil pollutants, microplastics may interact …
