Estimating soil particulate organic carbon through total soil organic carbon
Particulate soil organic carbon (POC) is sensitive to management changes, and a good soil health indicator. However, its determination is tedious and time consuming. Given POC changes represent most of total organic carbon (TOC) variation due to soil use,

Long‐Term Elevated CO2 Improves Soil Health and Rice Yields in Paddy Fields
Combining the two longest‐running rice free‐air CO2 enrichment experiments with a global data synthesis, this study demonstrates that long‐term elevated CO2 consistently enhances soil health. In rice paddies, this improvement sustains the CO2 fertilization effect over decades.
