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.

TL;DR: It is shown that NCS can provide over one-third of the cost-effective climate mitigation needed between now and 2030 to stabilize warming to below 2 °C.
Journal ArticleDOI
Grassland management and conversion into grassland: effects on soil carbon
TL;DR: In this article, the influence of improved grassland management practices and conversion into grasslands on soil C worldwide to assess the potential for C sequestration was reviewed. But the authors focused on the top 10 cm of soil.
Grassland management and conversion into grassland: effects on soil carbon
TL;DR: In this paper, the influence of improved grassland management practices and conversion into grasslands on soil C worldwide to assess the potential for C sequestration was reviewed. But, the results were limited to the top 10 cm of soil.

TL;DR: In this paper, a new conceptual model that explicitly identifies the processes controlling soil organic matter availability for decomposition and allows a more explicit description of the factors regulating OM decomposition under different circumstances is presented.
