Globally, soils contain three times as much carbon as exists in the atmosphere and all plants, combined. Which means that ...
Organic carbon decomposition in soil varies significantly and in regional patterns, driven in part by factors such as soil minerals and microbial properties that have been underrepresented in carbon ...
Soil carbon storage is a vital ecosystem service, resulting from interactions of ecological processes. Human activities affecting these processes can lead to carbon loss or improved storage. Aa Aa Aa ...
Iron in the ground has quietly been doing climate work for centuries, binding carbon in soils so effectively that it can stay ...
Madhur, JB, Austin, Jenna, Abigail, Sara, Anupam and Eloise, along with collaborators at CU, the University of Manchester, and Lancaster Univrsity published a paper in Advanced Science titled A ...
Climate change-induced rainfall reductions in Mediterranean forests negatively affect the decomposition of plant litter through decreased soil moisture. However, the indirect effects of reduced ...
Soil organic carbon is a cornerstone of soil health. It improves soil structure while enhancing water- and nutrient-holding capacity, key factors for any agricultural production system. To build it up ...
1. Differences in litter quality and in soil microbial community composition can influence the litter decomposition and ‘home-field advantage’ (HFA). However, our knowledge about the relative role of ...
Nov. 2 (UPI) --If Earth's climate warms 2 degrees Celsius, new research predicts 230 billion tons of carbon will be released from the planet's soil. According to the study, published Monday in the ...
