Soil organic carbon increase via microbial assimilation or soil protection against the priming effect is mediated by the availability of soil N relative to input C Geoderma (IF 6.1) Pub Date : 2024-03-18 Futao Zhang, Qianqian Wang, Yueling Zhang, Shuihong Yao, Qinhua Wang, Georges Ndzana, Ute Hamer, Yakov Kuzyakov, Bin Zhang
Labile C inputs into soils will be partially transformed into soil organic carbon (SOC) through microbial assimilation or physicochemical protection as such mineral-organic interactions and soil aggregation. The C inputs may stimulate the decomposition of native SOC, inducing a phenomenon known as the priming effect. Increasing C inputs may increase SOC content, yet the relative role of these mechanisms

Soil organic matter interactions along the elevation gradient of the James Ross Island (Antarctica) Soil (IF 6.8) Pub Date : 2024-03-12 Vitezslav Vlcek, David Juřička, Martin Valtera, Helena Dvořáčková, Vojtěch Štulc, Michaela Bednaříková, Jana Šimečková, Peter Váczi, Miroslav Pohanka, Pavel Kapler, Miloš Barták, Vojtěch Enev
Abstract. Around half of the Earth’s soil organic carbon (SOC) is presently stored in the Northern permafrost region. In polar permafrost regions, low temperatures particularly inhibit both the production and biodegradation of organic matter. In such conditions, abiotic factors such as mesoclimate, pedogenic substrate or altitude are thought to be more important for soil development than biological
