Soil organic matter (SOM) represents a major reservoir of stored carbon (C). However,
uncertainties regarding the composition and origin of stabilized SOM hinder the …

Plant‐and microbially derived carbon (C) are the two major sources of soil organic matter
(SOM), and their ratio impacts SOM composition, accumulation, stability, and turnover. The …

Determining soil redistribution and sediment budgets in watersheds is often challenging.
One of the methods for making such determinations employs soil and sediment …

Soil organic carbon plays an important role in the stability and fertility of soil and is
influenced by different management practice. We quantified active and passive carbon pools …

The extent to which long-term application of mineral fertilizers regulates the quantity, quality,
and stability of soil organic matter (SOM) in soil matrices remains unclear. By combining four …

Increasing global temperatures have the potential to stimulate decomposition and alter the
composition of soil organic matter (SOM). However, questions remain about the extent to …

In agricultural ecosystems, incorporation of crop residues has been practiced as a recycling
approach for sustaining soil organic matter (SOM) and soil fertility. However, how crop …

The consensus for mechanisms controlling soil organic matter (SOM) persistence has
shifted from traditional views based on SOM recalcitrance to a new paradigm based on SOM …

Long-term intensive cultivation leads to the decrease of soil organic carbon (SOC) and soil
fertility. Crop residue amendment to soil is documented as an effective measure to increase …

Both warming and nitrogen (N) addition affect the chemistry and characteristics of soil
organic matter (SOM). However, their interactive impacts on molecular compositions and …
