Effects of land use on Soil Organic Carbon fractions in soils of Njala Landscape in Sierra Leone [PDF]
, 2016 Soil organic carbon fractions reflect the difference in soil organic carbon from one land use to another, and it can be regarded as an indication of the degree of soil organic carbon deterioration or improvement.

Enzymatic degradation of biopolymers in amorphous and molten states: mechanisms and applications
FEBS Open Bio, EarlyView.This review explains how polymer morphology and thermal state shape enzymatic degradation pathways, comparing amorphous and molten biopolymer structures. By integrating structure–reactivity principles with insights from thermodynamics and enzyme engineering, it highlights mechanisms that enable efficient polymer breakdown.

Soil Microbial Biomass And Activity In A Cork Oak Savanna [PDF]
, 2010 Cork oak savannas are composed by a sparse tree canopy (30-70 trees/ha) and a grassland understory predominantly composed of C3 annuals that survive the hot and dry Mediterranean summers as seeds in the soil.

Soil labile organic carbon indicating seasonal dynamics of soil organic carbon in northeast peatland
Ecological Indicators, 2022 Peatlands have persisted as massive carbon pool in terrestrial ecosystem. Labile organic carbon (LOC) plays a vital role in carbon cycling in high-latitude peatlands, which is an important indicator of seasonal soil organic carbon (SOC) dynamics. However, the contributions of LOC fractions are poorly understood.
