Soil organic carbon management has the potential to aid climate change mitigation through
drawdown of atmospheric carbon dioxide. To be effective, such management must account …

In the Anthropocene, in which we now live, climate change is impacting most life on Earth.
Microorganisms support the existence of all higher trophic life forms. To understand how …

Anthropogenic activities profoundly impact soil organic carbon (SOC), affecting its
contribution to ecosystem services such as climate regulation. Here, we conducted a …

Soil is the largest terrestrial reservoir of organic carbon and is central for climate change
mitigation and carbon-climate feedbacks. Chemical and physical associations of soil carbon …

ES 6: 3-5 Replace “It is unequivocal that emissions of the well-mixed greenhouse gases
(GHG) carbon dioxide (CO2), methane (CH4) and nitrous oxide (N2 O) from human activities …

Soil organic matter decomposition and its interactions with climate depend on whether the
organic matter is associated with soil minerals. However, data limitations have hindered …

Abstract The Community Land Model (CLM) is the land component of the Community Earth
System Model (CESM) and is used in several global and regional modeling systems. In this …

Soil organic carbon (SOC) persistence is predominantly governed by mineral protection,
consequently, soil mineral-associated (MAOC) and particulate organic carbon (POC) …

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 …

The largest stocks of soil organic carbon can be found in cold regions such as Arctic,
subarctic and alpine biomes, which are warming faster than the global average …
