Soil organic matter formation, persistence, and functioning: A synthesis of current understanding to inform its conservation and regeneration
Soil organic matter (SOM) provides vital services to humanity. Its preservation and further
accrual are key to sustain food production and avoid an irreversible climate crisis. Here we …

Many risky feedback loops amplify the need for climate action
Many feedback loops significantly increase warming due to greenhouse gas emissions.
However, not all of these feedbacks are fully accounted for in climate models. Thus …

The deep soil organic carbon response to global change
Over 70% of soil organic carbon (SOC) is stored at a depth greater than 20 cm belowground.
A portion of this deep SOC actively cycles on annual to decadal timescales and is sensitive …

Soil organic carbon storage as a key function of soils-A review of drivers and indicators at various scales
The capacity of soils to store organic carbon represents a key function of soils that is not only
decisive for climate regulation but also affects other soil functions. Recent efforts to assess …

Evidence for large microbial-mediated losses of soil carbon under anthropogenic warming
Anthropogenic warming is expected to accelerate global soil organic carbon (SOC) losses
via microbial decomposition, yet, there is still no consensus on the loss magnitude. In this …

Direct evidence for microbial-derived soil organic matter formation and its ecophysiological controls
Soil organic matter (SOM) and the carbon and nutrients therein drive fundamental
submicron-to global-scale biogeochemical processes and influence carbon-climate …

Quantifying global soil carbon losses in response to warming
The majority of the Earth's terrestrial carbon is stored in the soil. If anthropogenic warming
stimulates the loss of this carbon to the atmosphere, it could drive further planetary …
