Abstract:
... Investigators are debating on the positive and negative priming effects of biochar on native soil organic carbon (SOC), which is largely attributed to the technical barrier of identifying biochar contribution to the apparently measured SOC or mineralized CO₂. We combined benzene polycarboxylic acids (BPCAs) molecular biomarkers and soil particle density fractionation to identify biochar contributi ...

Abstract:
... There are relatively few studies that explicitly evaluate the performance of machine learning algorithms (MLAs) such as decision trees while varying conditions like data splitting strategies and feature selection methods in digital soil mapping (DSM). Since several more powerful black-box models such as Random Forest (RF) exist, regular models like the Classification and Regression Tree (CART) are ...

Abstract:
... Soil organic matter (SOM) decomposition and stabilisation are largely affected by microbial carbon use efficiency (CUE), which is defined as the proportion of substrate carbon (C) uptake that microbes use for growth. Microbial CUE varies due to substrate quality and availability differences, but this may also depend on soil properties, such as pH, soil organic C (SOC) and clay content. We conducte ...

Abstract:
... Heavy metal pollution caused by mining activities can be harmful to soil microbiota, which are highly sensitive to heavy metal stress. This study aimed to investigate the response of soil bacterial communities to varying levels of heavy metal pollution in four types of habitats (i.e., tailing, remediation, natural recovery, and undisturbed areas) at an abandoned polymetallic mine by high-throughpu ...

Abstract:
... Aside from the many services that soil provides, it also stores water and makes it available to crops, which is critical for food security. However, the necessity of further studies for overcoming the existing gap in relation to the role of soil in the water, energy, and food nexus system has been preoccupying the experts and specialists around the world for some time. In this sense, the balance b ...
... Forest soil harbors diverse microbial communities with decisive roles in ecosystem processes. Vegetation shift from needleleaf to broadleaf species is occurring across the globe due to climate change and anthropogenic activities, potentially change forest soil microbial communities and C cycle. However, our knowledge on the impact of such vegetation shift on soil microbial community and activities ...
... Microplastics (MPs) can affect soil organic carbon (C) cycling in paddy soil by changing microbial function and soil properties. In this study, a laboratory incubation experiment was applied to explore the effect of polyethylene (PE) MP on methane (CH₄) and carbon dioxide (CO₂) emissions from paddy soils after rice straw addition. Moreover, the microbial functional genes encoding CH₄ oxidation and ...

Abstract:
... The response of soil organic carbon (SOC) dynamics to nitrogen enrichment in the scale of whole-soil profiles, especially in deeper soil layers containing approximately half of SOC, remains unclear. Here, the incorporation of new vegetation-derived carbon into whole-soil profiles is estimated by combining natural stable isotopes (¹³C and ¹⁵N) with radiocarbon analyses under elevated nitrogen input ...

Abstract:
... An increasing number of soil spectral libraries are being developed at larger extents, including at national, continental, and global scales. However, the prediction accuracy of these libraries was often fairly poor when used on local scales. This study evaluates different strategies to improve the model accuracy of a regional spectral library for soil organic carbon prediction in four different l ...

Abstract:
... Prediction of the soil C response to environmental change is often limited by the absence of temporal soil monitoring data from which applicable models can be developed. This constrains the understanding of the processes governing soil C cycling in data‐poor areas. Here, we demonstrate a method to predict soil organic C (SOC) change over time based on the space‐for‐time (SFT) substitution method b ...

Abstract:
... Dissolved organic matter (DOM) in soils drives biogeochemical cycling and soil functions in different directions depending on its molecular signature. Notably, there is a distinct paucity of information concerning how the molecular signatures of soil DOM vary with different degrees of weathering across wide geographic scales. Herein, we resolved the DOM molecular signatures from 22 diverse Chinese ...

Abstract:
... As digital soil mapping (DSM) applications have been developed at multiple extents over the two last decades, large areas of the world are now covered by several DSM products with similar resolution and targeted soil properties. Thus, from these products, end-users must carefully select the one that will best meet their needs. The aim of this study was to evaluate three DSM products obtained at di ...

Abstract:
... Although many Soil Spectral Libraries (SSLs) have been created globally, these libraries still have not been operationalized for end-users. To address this limitation, this study created an online Brazilian Soil Spectral Service (BraSpecS). The system was based on the Brazilian Soil Spectral Library (BSSL) with samples collected in the Visible–Near–Short-wave infrared (vis–NIR–SWIR) and Mid-infrar ...

... Changes in soil organic matter (SOM) content and soil organic carbon (SOC) stock in the 0–30 cm and 30–100 cm soil layers between 1998 and 2018 in the Netherlands were estimated by repeated sampling of 1152 locations in the Soil Sampling Programme (SSP). These locations were selected following a stratified simple random sampling design. We discuss various barriers we met: restricted accuracy of in ...

Abstract:
... Digital soil maps of different scales have been widely used in the estimates of soil organic carbon (SOC). However, exactly how the scale of the soil map impacts SOC dynamics and the key factors influencing SOC estimations during the map generalization process have rarely been assessed. In this research, a newly available soil database of Zhejiang Province in southeastern China, which contains 215 ...

Abstract:
... There is increasing evidence that the accessibility of soil organic matter (SOM) to microbial decomposers is more important than chemical recalcitrance for regulating SOM stability. We show that the rapid reduction in SOM decomposition following the addition of sorptive mineral phases to soils in laboratory conditions leads to decreased accessibility of SOM to microbial decomposers due to the form ...

Abstract:
... Long‐term field experiments (LTEs) are invaluable in improving understanding of soil organic matter (SOM) turnover, as some of the involved processes have proceeded over centuries. Prediction of such slow carbon fluxes depends especially on the initialization of slow‐reacting model pools and requires monitoring for a very long time for evaluation. This study reports soil organic matter (SOM) model ...

... Agricultural microplastic pollution has become a growing concern. Unfortunately, the impacts of microplastics (MPs) on agricultural soil carbon and nitrogen dynamics have not been sufficiently reported. In an attempt to remedy this, we conducted a 105-day out-door mesocosm experiment in a soil-plant system using sandy soils amended with two types of MPs, low-density polyethylene (LDPE-MPs) and bio ...

However, how microbial CUE responds to nitrogen addition and its mechanisms in soil aggregates from abandoned grassland systems remains poorly understood. In this study, we designed a nitrogen (N) addition experiment (0 (N0), 10 (N1), 20 (N2), 40 (N3), 80 (N4) kg N ha⁻¹yr⁻¹) from abandoned grassland on the Lo ...
