Microbial trait multifunctionality drives soil organic matter formation potential [PDF]

Nature Communications
Soil 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 ...

Conceptualizing soil fauna effects on labile and stabilized soil organic matter [PDF]

Nature Communications
Fauna 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 ...

Nonadditive Effects on Decomposition of a Mixture of Rice Straw and Groundnut Stover Applied to a Sandy Soil

Agronomy, 2021
Rice straw is an abundant resource, but its use as a sandy soil amendment does not increase soil organic matter (SOM) accumulation. Our study aimed to determine the altered decomposition processes that result from mixing rice straw (RS) (low N, high ...

Molecular structure of dissolved organic carbon in a sandy soil receiving contrasting quality organic residues

Geoderma, 2023
Decomposing plant residues release plant-derived dissolved organic carbon (DOC) which can be transformed by microorganisms resulting in microbial-derived DOC (DOC biological function).

Influence of organic matter content and ingredient on the physical and mechanical properties of peat soils

Shuiwen dizhi gongcheng dizhi, 2022
Peat soil is rich in organic matter, which is the main reason for its poor engineering properties. The content and compositions of organic matter of peat soil lead to the various physical and mechanical properties of this kind of soil.
