Unlocking complex soil systems as carbon sinks: multi-pool management as the key
Much research focuses on increasing carbon storage in mineral-associated organic matter
(MAOM), in which carbon may persist for centuries to millennia. However, MAOM-targeted …

Dynamic interactions at the mineral–organic matter interface
Minerals are widely assumed to protect organic matter (OM) from degradation in the
environment, promoting the persistence of carbon in soil and sediments. In this Review, we …

Soil organic carbon storage as a key function of soils-A review of drivers and indicators at various scales
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 …
