Journal ArticleDOI
Stabilization mechanisms of soil organic matter: Implications for C-saturation of soils
TL;DR: The relationship between soil structure and the ability of soil to stabilize soil organic matter (SOM) is a key element in soil C dynamics that has either been overlooked or treated in a cursory fashion when developing SOM models as discussed by the authors.
Journal ArticleDOI
A history of research on the link between (micro)aggregates, soil biota, and soil organic matter dynamics
TL;DR: In this article, Tisdall and Oades [J. Soil Sci. 62 (1982) 141] coined the aggregate hierarchy concept describing a spatial scale dependence of mechanisms involved in micro- and macroaggregate formation.
Journal ArticleDOI
Soil macroaggregate turnover and microaggregate formation: a mechanism for C sequestration under no-tillage agriculture
TL;DR: In this paper, a conceptual model which links the turnover of aggregates to soil organic matter dynamics in no-till (NT) and conventional tillage (CT) cropping systems was proposed.
Journal ArticleDOI
Bacterial and Fungal Contributions to Carbon Sequestration in Agroecosystems
TL;DR: In this paper, the current knowledge of microbial processes affecting C sequestration in agroecosystems is reviewed, and gaps within our knowledge on MOM-C dynamics and how they are related to soil properties and agricultural practices are identified.
Journal ArticleDOI
Aggregation and soil organic matter accumulation in cultivated and native grassland soils
TL;DR: In this paper, a grassland-derived Haplustoll was separated into aggregates by wet sieving, and the level of fine iPOM C (53-250 μm) obtained after slaking was five times greater in NT vs. CT and accounted for 47.3% of the difference in total POM C between NT and CT.
