Desorption of mineral-bound phosphorus across different cropping systems and agronomic strategies to promote efficient input use Open
Phosphorus (P) is a limiting nutrient to production in various agricultural ecosystems and many soils contain large amounts of legacy P that is strongly adsorbed on iron (Fe) and aluminum oxides and therefore poorly available to plants. He…

Setting-aside cropland did not reduce greenhouse gas emissions from a drained peat soil in Sweden Open
In the process of their formation, northern peatlands were accumulating vast amounts of carbon (C). When drained for agricultural use, a large proportion of that C is oxidized and emitted as carbon dioxide (CO 2 ), turning those peatlands …

A new machine-learning model to partition soil organic carbon into its centennially stable and active fractions based on Rock-Eval(r) thermal analysis Open
The quantification of soil organic carbon (SOC) biogeochemical stability is important for assessing soil health and its capacity to store carbon. Models simulating SOC stock evolution divide SOC into different kinetic pools with contrastin…

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…

Depth‐dependent responses of soil organic carbon under nitrogen deposition Open
Emerging evidence points out that the responses of soil organic carbon (SOC) to nitrogen (N) addition differ along the soil profile, highlighting the importance of synthesizing results from different soil layers. Here, using a global meta‐…

Bayesian calibration of the ICBM/3 soil organic carbon model constrained by data from long-term experiments and uncertainties of C inputs Open
Models with various complexity can asses soil C sequestration in agriculture. In this study, we updated the Introductory Carbon Balance Model (ICBM) with 28 years of additional data and included multiple long-term bare fallow experiments f…

Carbon sequestration in the subsoil and the time required to stabilize carbon for climate change mitigation Open
Soils store large quantities of carbon in the subsoil (below 0.2 m depth) that is generally old and believed to be stabilized over centuries to millennia, which suggests that subsoil carbon sequestration (CS) can be used as a strategy for …
