Pedogenic carbonates: Forms and formation processes
TLDR
In this paper, the authors summarized the available data and theories on forms and formation processes of pedogenic carbonates and relate them to environmental factors, and suggested the most important future research directions on PC, including the anthropogenic effects of fertilization and soil management.About:

Digging deeper: A holistic perspective of factors affecting soil organic carbon sequestration in agroecosystems.
TL;DR: This review is a collation and synthesis of articles published in peer-reviewed journals and estimates of the historic depletion of SOC in world soils, 115-154 Pg C and equivalent to the technical potential or the maximum soil C sink capacity, need to be improved.
Journal ArticleDOI
Rhizosphere size and shape: Temporal dynamics and spatial stationarity
TL;DR: In this article, a literature analysis allows the conclusion that the rhizosphere extent for most of the parameters assessed by non-destructive visualization techniques is 0.5-4 cm, but exceeds 4 cm for gases, nitrate, water and redox potential.
Journal ArticleDOI
Dramatic loss of inorganic carbon by nitrogen-induced soil acidification in Chinese croplands.
TL;DR: Optimizing N fertilization and improving N use efficiency are important for decreasing SIC losses from acidification, and any overfertilization should be avoided to prevent environmental problems and soil fertility decline associated with CaCO3 losses.
Journal ArticleDOI
Nitrogen fertilization raises CO2 efflux from inorganic carbon: a Global assessment
TL;DR: The problem of acidification of carbonate-containing soils is raised and the necessity of preventing soil acidification in N-fertilized soils as an effective strategy to inhibit millennia of CO2 efflux to the atmosphere is emphasized.
Journal ArticleDOI
Review and synthesis of the effects of elevated atmospheric CO2 on soil processes: No changes in pools, but increased fluxes and accelerated cycles
TL;DR: In this paper, the effects of elevated CO2 (eCO2) on belowground processes are incompletely understood due to complex interactions among various ecosystem fluxes and components such as net primary productivity, carbon (C) inputs to soil, and the living and dead soil C and nutrient pools.

Total carbon and nitrogen in the soils of the world
TL;DR: In this article, a discrepancy of approximately 350 × 1015 g (or Pg) of C in two recent estimates of soil carbon reserves worldwide is evaluated using the geo-referenced database developed for the World Inventory of Soil Emission Potentials (WISE) project.
