The deep soil organic carbon response to global change
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 …

Deep-C storage: Biological, chemical and physical strategies to enhance carbon stocks in agricultural subsoils
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 …

Microbial formation of stable soil carbon is more efficient from belowground than aboveground input
The relative contributions of aboveground versus belowground plant carbon inputs to the
stable soil organic carbon pool are the subject of much debate—with direct implications for …

Evidence for the primacy of living root inputs, not root or shoot litter, in forming soil organic carbon
Soil organic carbon (SOC) is primarily formed from plant inputs, but the relative carbon (C)
contributions from living root inputs (ie rhizodeposits) vs litter inputs (ie root+ shoot litter) are …
