The effect of 10% HF treatment on the resolution of CPMAS 13C NMR spectra and on the quality of organic matter in Ferralsols

TLDR
In this article, the authors investigated the impact of the use of magic angle spinning on the resolution of the CPMAS 13C NMR spectra and the chemical composition of the SOM in the A and B horizons of four Brazilian Ferralsols.

SOM fractionation methods: Relevance to functional pools and to stabilization mechanisms

TL;DR: In this article, the SOM fractions obtained with such operational fractionation procedures are described in terms of their pool sizes, chemical properties, and turnover rates, and the main objective is to evaluate these operationally defined fractions with respect to their suitability to describe functional SOM pools that could be used to parameterize SOM turnover models.

Stabilization of Soil Organic Matter: Association with Minerals or Chemical Recalcitrance?

TL;DR: In this article, the authors analyzed pool size and isotopic composition (14C, 13C) of mineral-protected and recalcitrant organic carbon (OC) in 12 subsurface horizons from 10 acidic forest soils, showing that stabilization of OM by interaction with poorly crystalline minerals and polymeric metal species is the most important mechanism for preservation of OM in these acid subsoil horizons.

The Depth Distribution of Soil Organic Carbon in Relation to Land Use and Management and the Potential of Carbon Sequestration in Subsoil Horizons

TL;DR: In this paper, the subsoil carbon (C) sequestration may be achieved by higher inputs of fairly stable organic matter to deeper soil horizons, which can be achieved directly by selecting plants/cultivars with deeper and thicker root systems that are high in chemical recalcitrant compounds like suberin.
Journal ArticleDOI

Microbially derived inputs to soil organic matter: are current estimates too low?

TL;DR: The contributions of microbial biomass to soil organic matter appear to be much higher than the 1-5% reported by other researchers, and organic matter is intimately linked to nutrient release and transport in soils, nitrogen turnover rates, contaminant fate, soil quality, and fertility.
