Most soil quality measurements have been limited to laboratory-based methods that suffer
from time delay, high cost, intensive labor requirement, discrete data collection, and tedious …

Considerable advances have been made in the assessment and map** of soil organic
carbon stocks, but rates of change in carbon stocks remain to be quantified for many soils …

Soil organic carbon (SOC) distribution and interaction with light is influenced by soil texture
parameters (clay, silt and sand), which makes SOC prediction complicated, especially in …

Soil carbon storage results from interactions between ecological processes and contributes
to the global chemical regulation of the atmosphere, a vital ecosystem service. Within the …

It is known that the physiology of Methanosarcina species can differ significantly, but the
ecological impact of these differences is unclear. We recovered two strains of …

The level of soil organic carbon (SOC) fluctuates in different types of forest stands: this
variation can be attributed to differences in tree species, and the variables associated with …
