Long-term impact of cover crop and reduced disturbance tillage on soil pore size distribution and soil water storage
TL;DR: In this paper , the long-term impact of contrasting no-till and cover cropping systems on soil structure and hydraulic properties was studied. But the authors focused on the water retention and conductivity curves for the top (0-5) and subsurface (20-25) soils.

Soil carbon sequestration impacts on global climate change and food security.
TL;DR: In this article, the carbon sink capacity of the world’s agricultural and degraded soils is 50 to 66% of the historic carbon loss of 42 to 78 gigatons of carbon.

Stabilization mechanisms of soil organic matter: Implications for C-saturation of soils
TL;DR: The relationship between soil structure and the ability of soil to stabilize soil organic matter (SOM) is a key element in soil C dynamics that has either been overlooked or treated in a cursory fashion when developing SOM models as discussed by the authors.

Defining and classifying ecosystem services for decision making
TL;DR: The concept of ecosystem services has become an important model for linking the functioning of ecosystems to human welfare Understanding this link is critical for a wide-range of decision-making contexts.

Ecosystems and human well-being: a framework for assessment
TL;DR: The Millennium Ecosystem Assessment (MEA) as discussed by the authors is a conceptual framework for analysis and decision-making of ecosystems and human well-being that was developed through interactions among the experts involved in the MA as well as stakeholders who will use its findings.
