Root exudates are well-known 'labile'sources of soil carbon that can prime microbial activity.
Recent investigations suggest that the stability of labile carbon inputs in soil mostly depends …

Root exudates are an essential carrier for material cycling, energy exchange, and
information transfer between the belowground parts of plants and the soil. We synthesize …

Carbon fixed by vegetated coastal ecosystems (blue carbon) can mitigate anthropogenic
CO2 emissions, though its effectiveness differs with the spatial scale of interest. A literature …

Carbon capture and sequestration (CCS) is a three-tier process-carbon capture, transport
and storage. The capture consists of pre-combustion, oxy-combustion and post-combustion …

Mangroves are ecologically and economically important forests of the tropics. They are
highly productive ecosystems with rates of primary production equal to those of tropical …

Soil enzymes, as indicators of microbial metabolism, play an important role in nutrient
biogeochemistry at the ecosystem level. In this study, we present information from a …

The increase in atmospheric carbon dioxide (CO 2) concentrations due to emissions from
fossil fuel combustion is contributing to recent climate change which is among the major …

Highlights•Soil C sequestration can strengthen land-based C sinks and off-set
anthropogenic emissions.•Among numerous co-benefits of soil C sequestration are …

Agroforestry—the practice of growing trees and crops in interacting combinations—is
recognized worldwide as an integrated approach to sustainable land-use. It is estimated to …

Soil organic matter (SOM) plays an important role in soil fertility and C cycle. Detailed
information about the spatial distribution of SOM is vital to effective management of soil …
