Soil organic matter (SOM) is indispensable for soil health and, in the context of climate change, considered a significant CO2 sink. Improving agricultural management to increase long-term carbon (SOC) stocks mitigating change requires tools that estimate short and long-cycling SOM pools. In this study, we analyzed changes fast-cycling particulate (POM) slow-cycling mineral-associated (MAOM) induced by common practices, i.e., fertilization crop rotation topsoils from 25 Central European...
Crop production often leads to soil organic carbon (SOC) losses. However, under good management practice it is possible maintain and even re-accumulate SOC. We evaluated how different cropland techniques affected SOC stocks in the topsoil (0–30 cm depth) of 10 long-term experiments (LTE) Germany. found that were particularly enhanced by mineral fertilization amendments like straw incorporation a smaller degree irrigation, but only slightly choice preceding crops. In agreement with global...
