Microplastics (MPs) are a type of emerging contaminants that pose a potential threat to
global terrestrial ecosystems, including agroecosystems. In recent years, MPs in soil and …

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 …

Managing soil organic matter (SOM) stocks to address global change challenges requires
well‐substantiated knowledge of SOM behavior that can be clearly communicated between …

To achieve long‐term increases in soil organic carbon (SOC) storage, it is essential to
understand the effects of carbon management strategies on SOC formation pathways …

The negative effects of polyfluoroalkyl substances (PFAS) on the environment and health
have recently attracted much attention. This article reviews the influence of soil-and water …

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 …

Dissolved organic matter affects fundamental biogeochemical processes in the soil such as
nutrient cycling and organic matter storage. The current paradigm is that processing of …

Plastic debris is accumulating in agricultural land due to the increased use of plastic
mulches, which is causing serious environmental problems, especially for biochemical and …

The accumulation of heavy metals in soil and crops is considered to be a severe
environmental problem due to its various harmful effects on animals and plants. Soil …

Soil organic matter (SOM) plays a central role in the global carbon balance and in mitigating
climate change. It will therefore be important to understand mechanisms of SOM …
