Terrestrial plant biomarkers and their carbon isotopes provide insights into carbon cycling,
paleovegetation and paleoclimate, ranging in scale from local to global. Over the past …

Tracing sediments back to their catchment sources using biogeochemical and physical
fingerprints involves multiple assumptions. One of the most fundamental assumptions is that …

The turnover and residence time of carbon (C) and nitrogen (N) in soil is a fundamental
parameter reflecting the rates of soil organic matter (SOM) transformation and the …

Indonesia lost more tropical forest than all of Brazil in 2012, mainly driven by the rubber, oil
palm, and timber industries. Nonetheless, the effects of converting forest to oil palm and …

The terrestrial carbon (C) cycle has received increasing interest over the past few decades,
however, there is still a lack of understanding of the fate of newly assimilated C allocated …

The mechanisms behind the 13 C enrichment of organic matter with increasing soil depth in
forests are unclear. To determine if 13 C discrimination during respiration could contribute to …

There is still a poor understanding of how changes in the organic composition of litter
contribute to slowing or even cessation of decomposition. Using 13 C nuclear magnetic …

In this study, we examined changes in isotopic (13 C and 14 C) and spectroscopic (UV and
13 C NMR) properties of dissolved organic carbon (DOC) in relation to soil organic matter …

Background and aims Soil organic carbon (SOC) dynamics are vital in the context of climate
change and sustainable soil management. The ẟ13C signatures of SOC are powerful …

We present data on soil organic carbon (SOC) inventory for 7050 soil cores collected from a
wide range of environmental conditions throughout Australia. The data set is stratified over …
