Ch. 1. Pedospheric Processes and the Carbon Cycle / R. Lal, J. Kimble and R. Follett -- Ch. 2. Stocks and Dynamics of Soil Carbon Following Deforestation for Pasture in Rondonia / Christopher Neill, ...

Researchers discovered that microbes respire three times as much CO2 from lignin carbons compared to cellulose carbons. When soil microbes eat plant matter, the digested food follows one of two ...

Image of soil with a close-up of a bacterium and the cellular pathways involved in carbon dioxide productions. Available substrates from soil organic matter are processed through specific pathways ...

Researchers are using soil microbe DNA to model how they function and use carbon, helping to better predict and address climate change. A recent study led by a team at the Lawrence Berkeley National ...

Microbes are by far the most important factor in determining how much carbon is stored in the soil, according to a new study with implications for mitigating climate change and improving soil health ...

Every day beneath our feet, microbial decomposers tussle with soil minerals over a vast reservoir of carbon stored in the ground — and scientists know almost nothing about how this jostling plays out ...

A study examining the effects of higher temperatures on soil shows that warming alone does not increase levels of carbon dioxide emitted from the soil. Instead, higher temperatures combined with more ...

In a new study published in New Phytologist on Nov. 23, Prof. Zeng Fanjiang's team from the Xinjiang Institute of Ecology and ...
