Perennial crops can be a sustainable alternative to annual crops due to plant traits and management practices that improve productivity and may contribute to soil organic carbon (SOC) sequestration. However, our understanding of the mechanisms behind the potential differences in SOC pools between perennials and annuals is incomplete, particularly i...
High microbial carbon use efficiency (CUE) in agricultural soils can limit the return of atmospheric carbon dioxide (CO2) from organic matter mineralisation and potentially increase soil organic carbon (SOC) accumulation through the formation of microbial biomass and necromass. Therefore, soil management practices that increase microbial CUE are re...
Crop rotation and diversification can alleviate the high nitrate leaching associated with maize (Zea mays L.) monoculture, without reducing yields. Prior research focused on maize-legume/cereal rotations, with limited exploration of rotations with industrial crops destined for biorefining. In 2012, four-year rotation systems were established on san...
Forests around the globe have been converted to agricultural land to meet human demands. The investigation of soil quality index (SQI) as affected by land use change is essential to prevent and control soil degradation mainly in rapidly developing nations. Research on the effects of land-use change on soil quality, especially within deep soil layer...
Previous studies have shown that deforestation and planting of corn resulted in the loss of soil organic carbon (SOC). However, this is not inevitable in regions with acidic red soil. We selected six cornfields that have been planted for 34 years and adjacent forest plots in southwest China. Using a structural equation model, we identified the SOC...
Increasing soil organic carbon (SOC) reserves in agricultural land is important for mitigating global climate change. The soil environmental factors that affect SOC storage in agricultural cultivation are relatively easy to manage, but the effects of these factors on SOC have not been studied systematically, especially the relative weight of each f...
Increasing forest soil organic carbon (SOC) storage is important for reducing carbon dioxide (CO2) emissions from terrestrial ecosystems and mitigating global climate change. Although the effects of altitude, temperature and rainfall on organic carbon have been studied extensively, it is difficult to increase SOC storage by changing these factors i...
