Site‐Specific Drivers of Land‐Use Change Effects on Organic Carbon in German Agriculture and Forest Soils Open
Understanding the extent to which land‐use changes (LUC) impact soil organic carbon (SOC) is essential for accurate carbon accounting and global efforts aimed at reducing the negative impact of LUC on climate change. Recognizing that most …

Improved Broad‐Scale Modelling of Soil Organic Carbon Dynamics Following Land‐Use Changes Open
Land‐use changes (LUCs) strongly impact soil organic carbon (SOC) stocks over decades. However, there are too few long‐term field experiments where these SOC dynamics have been observed long enough to validate process‐based models for larg…

The centennial legacy of land‐use change on organic carbon stocks of German agricultural soils Open
Converting natural vegetation for agriculture has resulted in the loss of approximately 5% of the current global terrestrial soil organic carbon (SOC) stock to the atmosphere. Increasing the agricultural area under grassland may reverse so…

Soil organic carbon dynamics after land-use change – combining process-based modelling with machine learning Open
Land-use changes affect soil organic carbon (SOC) stocks over decades. However, IPCC default for greenhouse gas emissions reporting suggests a simple linear SOC stock change over 20 years only. Using process-based modelling approaches such…

The centennial legacy of land-use change on organic carbon stocks of temperate agricultural soils Open
Land-use change (LUC) in agricultural settings is common both historically and under more recent climate-smart agriculture guidelines aimed at reducing the impact of agriculture on the climate. Recognising that conversion of perennial gras…

Reply letter to Munoz et al. ‘on the importance of time in carbon sequestration in soils and climate change mitigation’—Keep carbon sequestration terminologies consistent and functional Open
Munoz et al. (2024) raised concerns regarding our recent contribution and the definition of the term C sequestration in soils (Don et al., 2024). We performed a review and therefore based our analysis on existing definitions of C sequestra…

Carbon sequestration in soils and climate change mitigation—Definitions and pitfalls Open
The term carbon (C) sequestration has not just become a buzzword but is something of a siren's call to scientific communicators and media outlets. Carbon sequestration is the removal of C from the atmosphere and the storage, for example, i…

Long-term impact of land-use change on soil organic carbon in German agriculture Open
Land-use change and land management practices alter soil organic carbon (SOC) dynamics in agricultural systems. Changing natural vegetation to agriculture in particular has resulted in a loss of approximately 5% of the current global terre…

Estimating Mineral-Associated Organic Carbon Deficits in Soils of the Okanagan Valley: A Regional Study With Broader Implications Open
To successfully reduce atmospheric CO 2 by sequestering additional soil carbon, it is essential to understand the potential of a given soil to store carbon in a stable form. Carbon that has formed organo-mineral complexes with silt and cla…

Soil organic carbon in irrigated agricultural systems: A meta‐analysis Open
Over the last 200 years, conversion of non‐cultivated land for agriculture has substantially reduced global soil organic carbon (SOC) stocks in upper soil layers. Nevertheless, practices such as no‐ or reduced tillage, application of organ…

Storage of soil carbon as particulate and mineral associated organic matter in irrigated woody perennial crops Open
Agricultural practices such as annual crop production, land use change and grazing on marginal lands lead to a loss of soil carbon (C) stock. But soil C losses are not universal in agricultural systems and modest soil C gains can occur whe…
