TL;DR: In this article, the size distributions of water-stable aggregates and organic constituents were investigated in low-activity clay (LAC) soils from sub-Saharan Africa and Brazil, and how these distributions were affected by texture and sesquioxides.

TL;DR: In this article, the effects of sugarcane residue management on topsoil carbon were assessed in a clayey Oxisol of Brazil, the largest world producer of sugar cane, with either a pre-harvest residue burning (BUR) or a 6-year green trash management (MUL, residue mulching).

TL;DR: In this article, the carbon mineralization of added organic materials (AOM) in soil was assessed by combining laboratory and modeling approaches, and two predictive models, m 4 and m 6, were respectively defined by (i) two compartments (labile L and very resistant R) with three parameters: P L (proportion of L), and k m L, k m R (kinetic constants of L and R); (ii) three compartments(very labile L′, resistant R′ and stable S), with two parameters: p ′ L and P

TL;DR: In this paper, the potential of soil organic carbon (SOC) sequestration in the Lesser Antilles is evaluated for a wide range of soil types, including allophanic, low activity clay, and high activity clay.

TL;DR: In this article, the transformation of added organics (TAO) model has been presented in previous work for predicting C mineralisation, and two variables (labile and stable fractions of AOM) used in TAO have been related to the biochemical characteristics of the AOM.
