Journal ArticleDOI
Quantitative assessment of microbial necromass contribution to soil organic matter.
TL;DR: It is shown that microbial necromass can make up more than half of soil organic carbon, and it is suggested next-generation field management requires promoting microbial biomass formation and necromassing preservation to maintain healthy soils, ecosystems, and climate.
Journal ArticleDOI
Soil carbon storage informed by particulate and mineral-associated organic matter
TL;DR: In this article, the authors present coupling of European-wide databases with soil organic matter physical fractionation to determine continental-scale forest and grassland topsoil carbon and nitrogen stocks and their distribution between mineral-associated and particulate organic matter pools.
Journal ArticleDOI
The concept and future prospects of soil health.
TL;DR: Soil health is the continued capacity of soil to function as a vital living ecosystem that sustains plants, animals and humans, and connects agricultural and soil science to policy, stakeholder needs and sustainable supply-chain management as discussed by the authors.
Journal ArticleDOI
Global meta-analysis of the relationship between soil organic matter and crop yields
TL;DR: In this article, the authors developed a quantitative model exploring how SOM relates to crop yield potential of maize and wheat in light of co-varying factors of soil management, soil type, and climate.
Journal ArticleDOI
How to measure, report and verify soil carbon change to realize the potential of soil carbon sequestration for atmospheric greenhouse gas removal.

TL;DR: A new vision for a global framework for MRV of SOC change is described, to support national and international initiatives seeking to effect change in the way the authors manage their soils.

Journal ArticleDOI
Soil carbon sequestration to mitigate climate change
TL;DR: In this article, the authors proposed a sustainable management of soil organic carbon (SOC) pool through conservation tillage with cover crops and crop residue mulch, nutrient cycling including the use of compost and manure, and other management practices.
Journal ArticleDOI
The contentious nature of soil organic matter
Johannes Lehmann,Markus Kleber +1 more
TL;DR: It is argued that the available evidence does not support the formation of large-molecular-size and persistent ‘humic substances’ in soils, and instead soil organic matter is a continuum of progressively decomposing organic compounds.

Climate-smart soils
Keith Paustian,Johannes Lehmann,Stephen M. Ogle,David S. Reay,G. Philip Robertson,Pete Smith +5 more
TL;DR: ‘state of the art’ soil greenhouse gas research is highlighted, mitigation practices and potentials are summarized, gaps in data and understanding are identified and ways to close such gaps are suggested through new research, technology and collaboration.

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors surveyed the soil organic carbon (SOC) stock estimates and sequestration potentials from 20 regions in the world (New Zealand, Chile, South Africa, Australia, Tanzania, Indonesia, Kenya, Nigeria, India, China Taiwan, South Korea, China Mainland, United States of America, France, Canada, Belgium, England & Wales, Ireland, Scotland, and Russia).
Journal ArticleDOI
Long-term effects of organic amendments on soil fertility. A review
TL;DR: In this paper, the effects of organic amendments used both for organic matter replenishment and to avoid the application of high levels of chemical fertilizers were reviewed. But the major points of their analysis are: (1) many effects, e.g. carbon sequestration in the soil and possible build-up of toxic elements, evolve slowly, so it is necessary to refer to long-term trials.
