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

Background Soil salinization threatens food security and ecosystem health, and is one of the
important drivers to the degradation of many ecosystems around the world. Soil …

Soils store more carbon than other terrestrial ecosystems,. How soil organic carbon (SOC)
forms and persists remains uncertain,, which makes it challenging to understand how it will …

Despite the recognized importance of the contribution of microbial necromass to soil organic
carbon (SOC) sequestration, at a global scale, there has been no quantification for cropland …

Significant research has been conducted on the effects of soil salinity issue on agricultural
productivity. However, limited consideration has been given to its critical effects on soil …

Conceptual and empirical advances in soil biogeochemistry have challenged long-held
assumptions about the role of soil micro-organisms in soil organic carbon (SOC) dynamics; …

Atmospheric carbon dioxide concentration ([CO2]) is increasing, which increases leaf‐scale
photosynthesis and intrinsic water‐use efficiency. These direct responses have the potential …

Soil carbon sequestration (SCS) refers to the uptake of carbon (C) containing substances
from the atmosphere and its storage in soil C pools. Soil microbial community (SMC) play a …

Climate change is altering the frequency and severity of drought events. Recent evidence
indicates that drought may produce legacy effects on soil microbial communities. However, it …

Biochar, a carbon (C)-rich material obtained from the thermochemical conversion of biomass
under oxygen-limited environments, has been proposed as one of the most promising …
