Enhanced Soil Carbon Stability through Alterations in Components of Particulate and Mineral-Associated Organic Matter in Reclaimed Saline–Alkali Drainage Ditches

Agronomy
Soil carbon content and stability are primarily influenced by the stabilization of particulate organic matter (POM) and mineral-associated organic matter (MAOM).

Divalent cations outweigh metal oxides in stabilizing organic carbon in humid subtropical grassland soils

Geoderma
Soil organic carbon (SOC) stability and protection are crucial for carbon sequestration and achieving climate mitigation goals. Physiochemical protection is a key mechanism of SOC stabilization, which is vital for global carbon cycling and has received ...

A review of mechanisms underlying soil carbon sequestration and enhancement strategies via diversified planting and green manure integration

Farming System
Soil carbon sequestration plays a vital role in mitigating global climate change and sustaining crop productivity on farmlands. The key mechanisms underlying soil carbon sequestration on farmland involve chemical stabilization, physical protection, and ...

Carbon Accumulation in Arable Soils: Mechanisms and the Effect of Cultivation Practices and Organic Fertilizers

Agronomy, 2021
The organic carbon content of soils is a key parameter of soil fertility. Moreover, carbon accumulation in soils may mitigate the increase in atmospheric CO2 concentration. The principles of carbon accumulation in arable soils are well known.

Experimental study on combined stabilization technology of electrochemical grouting-carbonation for soft soil ground

Yantu gongcheng xuebao
The stabilization technology for soft soil ground under the carbon peaking and carbon neutrality goals is a hot topic in recent years. A new technology of electrochemical grouting combined with CO2 carbonation to strengthen soft soil foundation is ...

Parent material geochemistry – and not plant biomass – as the key factor shaping soil organic carbon stocks in European alpine grasslands [PDF]

Biogeosciences
Soils represent the largest terrestrial carbon (C) reservoir on Earth. Within terrestrial ecosystems, soil geochemistry can be a strong driver of plant-soil-carbon dynamics, especially in young, less weathered soils.

Membrane composition and thermodynamic identity as boundaries of life for synthetic cell research

FEBS Letters, EarlyView.
What makes a cell a cell? The boundary of a living cell is not just a wall. Read as a Markov blanket, the membrane separates internal from external states, generating identity and non‐equilibrium order. Can this identity be rebuilt from scratch in a synthetic cell?

Structural and biochemical insights into the thermostable esterase Ta0887 from Thermoplasma acidophilum

FEBS Open Bio, EarlyView.
In this study, a novel esterase from the thermoacidophilic archaeon Thermoplasma acidophilum was biochemically and structurally characterized. Our results demonstrate that Ta0887 is a highly thermostable esterase that preferentially hydrolyzes p‐nitrophenyl hexanoate and possesses an α‐helical cap domain that likely contributes to its substrate ...

A minimal cellulosome‐like system in Cellulosilyticum lentocellum

FEBS Open Bio, EarlyView.
Cellulose‐degrading bacteria typically use cellulosomes, large multi‐enzyme complexes on a scaffold protein. In Cellulosilyticum lentocellum, we characterise a far smaller arrangement, a single scaffold bound to one cellulase through a single cohesin‐dockerin interaction.

Moss biocrusts enhance soil carbon stabilization via microbial necromass accumulation in the karst rocky desertification region of eastern Yunnan, China

Ecological Indicators
Karst ecosystems are globally important carbon sinks, yet the escalating severity of rocky desertification is causing continuous losses of soil carbon stocks.
