Abstract Since the Green Revolution, world agriculture has relied heavily on agrochemical
inputs (synthetic fertilizers and pesticides) in cereal-and oilseed-dominated monoculture …

The soil organic carbon (SOC) to clay-sized particles ratio (SOC/clay) has recently been
selected as an indicator of the soil organic matter status in managed mineral soils within the …

The effects of different contents of biochar and vermicompost on the microbial and enzymatic
activities of greenhouse soil were determined to provide a theoretical basis for improving the …

Grasslands are expected to experience extreme climatic events such as extreme drought
due to rising global temperatures. However, we still lack evidence of how extreme drought …

Atmospheric C sequestration in agricultural soils is viewed as one of the most promising
negative emission technologies currently available. Nonetheless, it remains unclear how …

Sequestering carbon into agricultural soils is considered as a means of mitigating climate
change. We used agronomic soil test results representing c. 95% of the farmed land area in …

Vegetation restoration measures have been increasingly employed to alleviate rocky
desertification in karst ecosystems. However, the comprehensive effects of these …

Carbon removals associated with incremental gains in soil organic carbon (SOC) at scale
have enormous potential to mitigate global warming, yet confusion over contexts that elicit …

Soil organic matter (SOM) plays an important role in soil functions that are crucial for
sustainable agriculture. Understanding how agricultural management and soil properties …

Quantifying changes in soil organic carbon (SOC) is essential for understanding the effect of
managements on carbon (C) sequestration, especially in cultivated marginal lands. The …
