Stability of soil aggregates and their ability of carbon sequestration

Soil and Water Research, 2014
One of the most important binding agents for forming stable aggregates is a soil organic matter (SOM), which can be retained in various size fractions of aggregates. If aggregates are water-resistant, they retain more carbon.

Degradable versus inert microplastics: Effects on soil organic carbon persistence via microbial drivers in an agroecosystem

Functional Ecology, Volume 40, Issue 8, Page 2628-2641, August 2026.
Read the free Plain Language Summary for this article on the Journal blog. Abstract Microplastics (MPs) are widespread in terrestrial ecosystems, raising global concerns that they may disrupt soil organic carbon (SOC) cycling and undermine agroecosystem contributions to climate mitigation.

Savanna soil carbon accrual occurs through particulate organic matter from grass rather than tree biomass, regardless of atmospheric CO2 levels

Functional Ecology, Volume 40, Issue 8, Page 2532-2547, August 2026.
Read the free Plain Language Summary for this article on the Journal blog. Abstract Afforestation schemes in savannas are increasingly promoted as a carbon storage strategy despite threats to biodiversity. We also lack a clear understanding of how trees and grasses differentially contribute to the major carbon store in savannas, that is, soil organic ...

More than just a margin: Local and landscape‐scale factors regulating the effects of riparian forest buffers on stream‐riparian ecosystems in urban and agricultural landscapes

Journal of Applied Ecology, Volume 63, Issue 8, August 2026.
Riparian forest buffers support biodiversity, ecosystem functioning and food webs in human‐modified landscapes, and dampen land‐use and climate stressors (sediments, nutrients, thermal maxima), motivating their wider use in management. These outcomes were regulated by the presence or size of mostly small, mature buffers and sometimes by proximity among

Beyond temperature: The environmental constraints of high‐mountain microrefugia

Journal of Ecology, Volume 114, Issue 8, August 2026.
Cold spots in an alpine landscape often sit on poor, rocky, carbon‐low soils rather than well‐developed ground. As climate warms, alpine plants may find these cold refuges too harsh to colonize, since many depend on richer soils than nival and subnival species do.

Are Cambisols in Alpine Karst Autochthonous or Eolian in Origin

Arctic, Antarctic, and Alpine Research, 2008
ABSTRACT This paper deals with a two-year study of karst soils and eolian dust deposition on the Reiteralpe paleosurface (1600 to 2000 m), Northern Calcareous Alps, Germany. Thirty soil profiles of Cambisols developed on Triassic and Cretaceous limestones are investigated.

Decoupling of Taxonomic and Functional Recovery in a Multi‐Decadal Mixed Araucaria Forest Chronosequence

Austral Ecology, Volume 51, Issue 8, August 2026.
ABSTRACT Understanding how different biodiversity dimensions recover following disturbance is critical for interpreting forest successional trajectories. We examined this question in a protected remnant of Araucaria Mixed Forest (AMF) in subtropical southern Brazil, a frost‐prone montane system with multiple anthropogenic disturbance legacies.

Temporal and Ecological Factors Influencing Aquatic Hyphomycetes in a Tropical Headwater Stream

Freshwater Biology, Volume 71, Issue 8, August 2026.
ABSTRACT Aquatic hyphomycetes are key decomposers in headwater streams, yet their temporal dynamics in tropical systems remain poorly understood due to the scarcity of long‐term studies. Here, we investigated the temporal variation of aquatic hyphomycete communities in a tropical Atlantic Forest stream over 5 years, evaluating the relative influence of

Biome-dependent responses of Zea mays yield and soil functionality to organic fertilization in Cambisols of Brazil

Journal of the Saudi Society of Agricultural Sciences
Monocropping systems of Zea mays L. in Brazilian biomes exert strong pressures on the functionality of Cambisols. This study aimed to assess the influence of organic fertilization on the chemical properties of Cambisols across four Brazilian biomes ...
