Conceptualizing soil fauna effects on labile and stabilized soil organic matter [PDF]
Nature CommunicationsFauna is highly abundant and diverse in soils worldwide, but surprisingly little is known about how it affects soil organic matter stabilization. Here, we review how the ecological strategies of a multitude of soil faunal taxa can affect the formation ...

Soil organic matter protects US maize yields and lowers crop insurance payouts under drought
Environmental Research Letters, 2021 Higher levels of soil organic matter improve soil water retention, meaning they could mitigate agricultural yield losses from drought. Yet evidence to support such claims is mixed and incomplete.

Microbial trait multifunctionality drives soil organic matter formation potential [PDF]
Nature CommunicationsSoil microbes are a major source of organic residues that accumulate as soil organic matter, the largest terrestrial reservoir of carbon on Earth. As such, there is growing interest in determining the microbial traits that drive soil organic matter ...

Particulate organic matter as a functional soil component for persistent soil organic carbon
Nature Communications, 2021 The largest terrestrial organic carbon pool, carbon in soils, is regulated by an intricate connection between plant carbon inputs, microbial activity, and the soil matrix.
