The Ecology of Soil Carbon: Pools, Vulnerabilities, and Biotic and Abiotic Controls Open
Soil organic matter (SOM) anchors global terrestrial productivity and food and fiber supply. SOM retains water and soil nutrients and stores more global carbon than do plants and the atmosphere combined. SOM is also decomposed by microbes,…

Defining trait-based microbial strategies with consequences for soil carbon cycling under climate change Open
Microorganisms are critical in terrestrial carbon cycling because their growth, activity and interactions with the environment largely control the fate of recent plant carbon inputs as well as protected soil organic carbon [1, 2]. Soil car…

Rapid carbon mineralization for permanent disposal of anthropogenic carbon dioxide emissions Open
Inject, baby, inject! Atmospheric CO 2 can be sequestered by injecting it into basaltic rocks, providing a potentially valuable way to undo some of the damage done by fossil fuel burning. Matter et al. injected CO 2 into wells in Iceland t…

Carbon input by roots into the soil: Quantification of rhizodeposition from root to ecosystem scale Open
Despite its fundamental role for carbon (C) and nutrient cycling, rhizodeposition remains ‘the hidden half of the hidden half ’: it is highly dynamic and rhizodeposits are rapidly incorporated into microorganisms, soil organic matter, and …

Soil networks become more connected and take up more carbon as nature restoration progresses Open
Soil organisms have an important role in aboveground community dynamics and ecosystem functioning in terrestrial ecosystems. However, most studies have considered soil biota as a black box or focussed on specific groups, whereas little is …

Long-term pattern and magnitude of soil carbon feedback to the climate system in a warming world Open
Climate and the carbon cycle It is still not clear how global warming will affect the global carbon cycle, either in terms of the magnitude of the effect or even its sign. Help in answering that question will come from long-term field-base…
