Human activities have more than doubled reactive nitrogen (N) deposited in ecosystems,
perturbing the N cycle and considerably impacting plant, animal, and microbial communities …

To improve soil health and to aid in climate change mitigation, the quantity of soil organic
matter (SOM) should be maintained or increased over the long run. In doing so, not only the …

The persistence of soil organic carbon (SOC) is primarily driven by microbial metabolic
activities; however, how microbial effects on SOC sequestration are affected by soil nutrient …

Enhancing soil carbon (C) storage has the potential to offset human‐caused increases in
atmospheric CO2. Rising CO2 has occurred concurrently with increasing supply rates of …

Long-term additions of lime and/or phosphate fertilizer caused an indirect and/or direct
increase in the availability of P in mixed mesophytic deciduous forest soil on the unglaciated …

The details of how soil microorganisms contribute to stable soil organic carbon pools are a
pressing knowledge gap with direct implications for soil health and climate mitigation. It is …

Soil carbon-nitrogen (C: N) stoichiometry acts as a control over decomposition and soil
organic matter formation and loss, making it a key soil property for understanding ecosystem …

Land use change from native vegetation to crop** can significantly affect the quantity and
quality of soil organic matter (SOM). However, it remains unclear how the chemical …

Mineral-associated soil organic matter (SOM) is critical for stabilizing organic carbon and
mitigating climate change. However, mineral-SOM interactions at the molecular scale …

Understanding the complex interplay of biotic and abiotic controls on soil organic carbon
(SOC) stabilization and aggregate formation is a vital and evolving research field, with …
