The soil microbiome governs biogeochemical cycling of macronutrients, micronutrients and
other elements vital for the growth of plants and animal life. Understanding and predicting …

This article reviews current drought effects on environmental systems. It stresses the need
for considering environmental drought as a relevant type to be included in drought …

Human activity and related land use change are the primary cause of accelerated soil
erosion, which has substantial implications for nutrient and carbon cycling, land productivity …

Soil phosphorus (P) loss from agricultural systems will limit food and feed production in the
future. Here, we combine spatially distributed global soil erosion estimates (only considering …

The carbon sink capacity of the world's agricultural and degraded soils is 50 to 66% of the
historic carbon loss of 42 to 78 gigatons of carbon. The rate of soil organic carbon …

Fully revised and updated for its third edition, this book presents the definitive compilation of
current knowledge on all aspects of biochar. Research on biochar continues to accelerate …

The global magnitude (Pg) of soil organic carbon (SOC) is 677 to 0.3‐m, 993 to 0.5‐m, and
1,505 to 1‐m depth. Thus,~ 55% of SOC to 1‐m lies below 0.3‐m depth. Soils of …

Land‐use changes are the second largest source of human‐induced greenhouse gas
emission, mainly due to deforestation in the tropics and subtropics. CO2 emissions result …

This manuscript is a synthesis of the available information on energy use in farm operations,
and its conversion into carbon equivalent (CE). A principal advantage of expressing energy …

Globally, inland waters receive a significant but ill‐defined quantity of terrestrial carbon (C).
When summed, the contemporary estimates for the three possible fates of C in inland waters …
