Soil holds the largest portion of active carbon on earth. Plants take carbon from the air and convert it to plant tissue, some of which returns to the soil as plant residue. Carbon is critical to …

Soil carbon is a carbon sink in regard to the global carbon cycle, playing a role in biogeochemistry, climate change mitigation, and constructing global climate models. …

Outlined here are the processes that govern overall carbon stocks and fluxes through soils, from inputs through microbial transformations in the bulk soil and rhizosphere, and the protection …

2016年5月10日 · Our findings provide a strong framework for improved predictions on soil C dynamics that could be achieved by adopting a gene-centric approach incorporating the …

2024年1月20日 · Investigating the processes, mechanisms, and driving factors of soil microbial carbon cycling is crucial for understanding the functionality of terrestrial carbon sinks and …

Soil organic carbon (SOC) levels are directly related to the amount of organic matter contained in soil and SOC is often how organic matter is measured in soils. SOC levels result from the...

2015年8月24日 · The work is important because soil carbon is a major reservoir in the global carbon cycle, storing about three times the amount of carbon contained in the atmosphere as …

Here we discuss the role of soil microbes in the global carbon cycle and review the main methods that have been used to identify the microorganisms responsible for the processing of plant …

Soil is the planet’s second largest active pool of carbon after the oceans, but its ability to continue to retain the huge amounts of carbon it stores has been weakened in recent decades, largely …

The basic carbon cycle of life is: (1) the conversion of atmospheric carbon dioxide to carbohydrates by photosynthesis in plants; (2) the consumption and oxidation of these …
