In recent years, toxic pollution from heavy metal (loid) s in soil has become a severe
environmental problem worldwide. The migration and transformation of heavy metal (loid) s …

The role of soil erosion in terrestrial carbon (C) sequestration and release remains one of
the most important uncertainties in our attempts to determine the potential of soils to mediate …

Agricultural management practices can affect soil structure and soil organic carbon (SOC)
and nutrient stocks, which are important for sustainable agriculture. There is however limited …

Labile soil organic carbon pools are valuable indicators of soil quality, early changes in soil
total organic carbon (TOC) stocks, and (hence) changes in soil carbon sequestration pools …

Soil aggregation serves as storage and cycling of soil organic carbon (SOC) and total
nitrogen (TN), which are essential for the functioning of terrestrial ecosystems. Thus …

Topsoil carbon (C) stocks are known to decrease as a consequence of the conversion of
natural ecosystems to plantations or croplands; however, the effect of land use change on …

Quantifying soil organic carbon (SOC) dynamics is important in understanding changes in
soil properties and carbon (C) fluxes. However, SOC measures all C fractions and it is not …

Soil aggregates are critical to soil functionality, but there remain many uncertainties with
respect to the role of biotic factors in forming aggregates. Understanding the interacting …

Soil organic carbon (SOC) storage is a basic measure used to study soil productivity,
hydrology and the balance among greenhouse gases. Variation of SOC is controlled by …

The proportional differences in soil organic carbon (SOC) and its fractions under different
land uses are of significance for understanding the process of aggregation and soil carbon …
