Multiple models and experiments underscore large uncertainty in soil carbon dynamics [PDF]

, 2018
Soils contain more carbon than plants or the atmosphere, and sensitivities of soil organic carbon (SOC) stocks to changing climate and plant productivity are a major uncertainty in global carbon cycle projections.

Planting of nitrogen-fixing shrubs promote soil carbon sequestration by increasing mineral-associated organic fraction

Geoderma
Nitrogen-fixing shrubs have been planted worldwidely due to their excellent performances in soil improvement and economic benefits. However, their role and mechanisms on soil organic carbon (SOC) sequestration are unclear.

Legume cover crops sequester more soil organic carbon than non-legume cover crops by stimulating microbial transformations

Geoderma
Cover crops are one of the climate-smart agricultural practices used to increase soil organic carbon (SOC) sequestration. However, the SOC sequestration potential and underlying mechanisms under different cover crops, especially in orchard agroecosystems,

Arbuscular mycorrhizal fungi communities and glomalin mediate particulate and mineral-associated organic carbon formation in grassland patches

Communications Earth & Environment
Arbuscular mycorrhizal fungi stimulate particulate and mineral-associated organic carbon formation and stabilization through hyphae residue, glomalin-related soil proteins gluing, and mycelium entangling.

Microbial necromass carbon dominates the accumulation of soil organic carbon in bedrock-exposed areas of karst regions

Geoderma
Bedrock exposure alters the stability of soil organic carbon (SOC) in karst ecosystems; however, the responses of plant- and microbial-derived carbon—key indicators for assessing SOC stability—to bedrock exposure rates remain unclear. To address this, we

Soil organic carbon accumulation mechanisms in soil amended with straw and biochar: entombing effect or biochemical protection?

Biochar
Converting crop residues into biochar and subsequently incorporating it into soils is a promising strategy to improve carbon sequestration in agroecosystems.

Methyl-compound use and slow growth characterize microbial life in 2-km-deep subseafloor coal and shale beds [PDF]

, 2017
The past decade of scientific ocean drilling has revealed seemingly ubiquitous, slow-growing microbial life within a range of deep biosphere habitats. Integrated Ocean Drilling Program Expedition 337 expanded these studies by successfully coring Miocene ...
