The latest projections of organic carbon (SOC) changes from dif-ferent Earth system models (ESMs) show a very wide range of values, adding uncertainty on land-atmospheric carbon(C) feedback under cli-mate change (1). Because the is the largest terrestrial C pool, differ-ent representations of SOC turnover may amplify the magnitude and ...

The differences in approach to assess loss by water erosion probably arise from the different circumstances pertaining at the time. Thus in the 1930s erosion was high on the agenda in the USA and was widespread (Bennet, 1939), and an understanding of processes driving erosion was needed. Plot experiments were set up at experimental ...

Background and aims depth is a critical attribute of any , and determines rooting, moisture and nutrient storage, mineral reserve, anchorage, and a range of conditions that affect plant growth. We reviewed papers from four primary journals and extracted how deep the soils were studied in those papers. Methods depth was obtained over a 30-years period (1989–2019 ...
Using the dataset resurveys, we spatially assessed changes in land cover in 1990–2018 and used these to estimate changes in naturalness. On average, 50.74% of the examined surface was classified as natural or near-natural, 41.66% of the surface was moderately, but recognizably transformed by human activities, while 4.43% of the ...

We studied their influences in silty soils using samples from two field experiments with contrasting long-term use (cropped versus bare fallow). The cropped had a larger organic C content than the bare fallow, and allowed us to compare a with pools of organic C differing in turnover time with a dominated by the passive organic C ...
