Climate change has been partially mitigated by an increasing net land carbon sink in the
terrestrial biosphere; understanding the processes that drive this sink is thus essential for …

The role of soil organic carbon (SOC) sequestration as a 'win‐win'solution to both climate
change and food insecurity receives an increasing promotion. The opportunity may be too …

Abstract The EU Soil Strategy 2030 aims to increase soil organic carbon (SOC) in
agricultural land to enhance soil health and support biodiversity as well as to offset …

Grazing has been associated with contrasting effects on soil carbon stocks at local scales,
but accurate global assessments of its net impact are lacking. Here we conducted a meta …

Due to their substantial volume, subsoils contain more of the total soil carbon (C) pool than
topsoils. Much of this C is thousands of years old, suggesting that subsoils offer …

A significant increase in reactive nitrogen (N) added to terrestrial ecosystems through
agricultural fertilization or atmospheric deposition is considered to be one of the most …

Soil organic matter (SOM) is the largest actively cycling reservoir of terrestrial carbon (C),
and the majority of SOM in Earth's mineral soils (~ 65%) is mineral‐associated organic …

Forest soils harbor hyper-diverse microbial communities which fundamentally regulate
carbon and nutrient cycling across the globe. Directly testing hypotheses on how …

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 …

Plant microbiome (or phytomicrobiome) engineering (PME) is an anticipated untapped
alternative strategy that could be exploited for plant growth, health and productivity under …
