Microbial-derived carbon components are critical for enhancing soil organic carbon in no-tillage croplands: A global perspective

Yuan Li et al.

Summary: The study found that no-tillage (NT) and reduced tillage (RT) practices significantly increased soil organic carbon (SOC) fractions, especially those related to soil biological activities. Soil depth and mean annual temperature were identified as the dominant factors affecting the changes in SOC fractions under NT practices.

Negative to positive shifts in diversity effects on soil nitrogen over time

Xinli Chen et al.

Summary: Soil nitrogen availability is crucial for terrestrial ecosystems, and plant diversity plays a significant role in influencing soil nitrogen levels. This study found that soil nitrogen content increases with the number and age of plant species in mixtures, with greater positive effects observed in more diverse mixtures. Conservation of plant diversity not only enhances current vegetation productivity but also contributes to future vegetation productivity by increasing soil nitrogen retention.

Climate control on terrestrial biospheric carbon turnover

Timothy Eglinton et al.

Summary: Terrestrial vegetation and soils hold significantly more carbon than the atmosphere. Human activities impacting these reserves may exacerbate climate change uncertainties, particularly in extrapolating point-source observations to ecosystem-scale budgets. The turnover of organic carbon in river basins is influenced by mean annual temperature and precipitation, with implications for soil organic carbon vulnerability on a global scale. The scaling of riverine biospheric-carbon ages with soil OC turnover reveals the potential for constraints on carbon dynamics across broad spatial scales.

Factors controlling soil organic carbon and total nitrogen stocks following afforestation with Robinia pseudoacacia on cropland across China

Yangzhou Xiang et al.

Summary: The study found that afforestation with Robinia pseudoacacia significantly increased soil organic carbon and total nitrogen stocks, with the increase increasing with plantation age and altitude, but decreasing with factors such as mean annual temperature, slope gradients, soil depth, soil clay content, initial SOC content, and initial STN content. Among four kinds of biotic and abiotic factors, plantation attributes made the greatest contributions to the variance in the response size of SOC and STN stocks.

Yanli Wang et al.

Summary: Straw returning significantly increases SOC content, especially in areas with mean annual precipitation above 500 mm, temperature greater than 10℃, loam or sandy soil, and lower initial SOC content. The effects of planting systems and rotation methods on SOC increase are significant, with the optimal duration of straw returning being 6-9 years to prevent a decrease in SOC.
