Enhancing soil organic matter in agricultural soils has potential to contribute to climate
mitigation while also promoting soil health and resilience. However, soil carbon (C) …

This review covers the current and emerging analytical methods used in laboratory, field,
landscape and regional contexts for measuring soil organic carbon (SOC) sequestration in …

Soil organic carbon (SOC) is closely tied to soil health. However, additional biological
indicators may also provide insight about C dynamics and microbial activity. We used SOC …

The study's objective was to evaluate the status of converted degraded land into productive
agricultural models by improving the physicochemical properties of the soil, soil organic …

Agricultural microplastic pollution has become a growing concern. Unfortunately, the
impacts of microplastics (MPs) on agricultural soil carbon and nitrogen dynamics have not …

Soil quality is defined as the capacity of the soil to perform multiple functions, and can be
assessed by measuring soil chemical, physical and biological parameters. Among soil …

Abstract The North American Project to Evaluate Soil Health Measurements was initiated
with the objective to identify widely applicable soil health measurements for evaluation of …

Bacterial taxonomic community analyses using PCR-amplification of the 16S rRNA gene
and high-throughput sequencing has become a cornerstone in microbiology research. To …

Core Ideas Summary statistics were developed from a robust multiregional soil health (SH)
dataset. Active carbon, organic matter, and penetration resistance were most useful soil …

Core Ideas POXC and mineralizable C were evaluated across diverse agroecosystems. The
two are related but differentially influenced by management practices. POXC better reflected …
