Rice paddies supply half the global population with staple food, but also account for~ 48% of
greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions from croplands. In this Review, we outline the …

Many studies have shown that the microbial biomass content in paddy soils is much higher
than that in upland soils, but a comprehensive review of the underlying mechanisms and …

Grassland restoration across the world increases soil organic carbon (SOC) sequestration
which is critical for global C cycling and CO 2 removal from the atmosphere. However, the …

The main challenge of the twenty-first century is to find a balance between environmental
sustainability and crop productivity in a world with a rapidly growing population. Soil health …

Enhancing soil organic carbon (SOC) sequestration and food supply are vital for human
survival when facing climate change. Site‐specific best management practices (BMPs) are …

Bacterial communities in soil play a key role in carbon (C) and nutrient cycling. Unravelling
how bacterial community assemble and distribute with soil depth is a prerequisite for …

Paddies contain 78% higher organic carbon (C) stocks than adjacent upland soils, and iron
(Fe) plaque formation on rice roots is one of the mechanisms that traps C. The process …

As the content of the climate policy to meet the 2° C targets, actions in all economic sectors,
including agriculture, are required to mitigate global greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions …

Soil microbes are essential for regulating carbon stocks under climate change. However, the
uncertainty surrounding how microbial temperature responses control carbon losses under …

Rice ranks second among cereals in dietary uses around the world. Rice is deficient in iron
(Fe), and these are important micronutrients for infants, men, and women. Fortification of rice …
