Increasing attention is being directed toward carbon sequestration in agricultural soils due to its potential to mitigate global climate change. Enhancing soil organic carbon (SOC) storage is not only ...

Humification of lignocellulosic biomass is fundamental to soil fertility, microbial stability, and carbon sequestration, generating humic substances that act as long-term carbon reservoirs and energy ...

Soil microorganisms shape global element cycles in life and death. Living soil microorganisms are a major engine of terrestrial biogeochemistry, driving the turnover of soil organic matter — Earth’s ...
