Factors influencing soil carbon dynamics

Jandl et al. [1]

Improved Forest productivity enhances the stable carbon pool.

Deng et al. [2]

Conversion of farmland to either grasslands or forests increased soil carbon stocks.

Van Cleve and Powers [15]

Rhizosphere activities influence amino acids, phenolic and aliphatic acids, which is regulated by the diversity of the microbial community across soil conditions.

Elliott et al. [9]

Net primary production improved with increased litter mass and plant tissue nitrogen.

Witzgall et al. [16]

Soil oxygen levels influence soil organic matter turnover. Articulated the emerging hypothesis that the availability of reactive mineral surfaces explained soil organic matter persistence.

Herbert and Bertsch [19]

In forest soils the dissolved soil organic matter concentrations follow the sequence A > B > C horizons across many soil orders.

Schweizer et al. [23]

Increasing clay content correlated with particulate soil organic matter preservation.

Singh et al. [24]

Soil moisture and texture influence microbial respiration.

Kleber et al. [25] [26]

Mineral-organic associations support soil organic matter retention, a feature partially attributed to reduced microbial activity because of reduced organic matter accessibility.

Grandy et al. [27]

Conversion of cultivated land to forests improves soil enzyme, fungal to bacteria ratios and soil texture influence soil carbon pathways.

Lal [28]

Microbial decomposition of forest litter and root biomass and soil mineralization control carbon emissions.

Bouwman-Leeman [34]

Provided information on the quantity of the soil carbon pools for vegetation and soil across various forest ecosystems.

Liu et al. [35]

With vegetation restoration, organic carbon storage improved.

Cook and Patton [36]

Georeferenced soil carbon accumulation rates and inferred that soil carbon accumulation has significant potential. Carbon arising from coarse woody debris and litter were more abundant for boreal, temperate conifers, temperate broadleaf biomes.

Fox [37]

Fungi and bacteria differ in the types of low-molecular-weight organic acids released because of decomposition.

Harris et al. [38]

Integrating ground and Earth observation data concluded global forests were a carbon sink.

Zhao et al. [39]

Increased soil temperatures encourage soil organic matter decomposition and improved net primary productivity would not offset the carbon loss.

Williams et al. [40]

Soil mineralization is influenced by the soil organic nitrogen, bulk density, and soil water content.

Lu et al. [41]

Long-term soil nitrogen additions decreased soil mineralization rates, attributed to acidification, and induced phosphorus.

Felete et al. [42]

Dryer forested sites had smaller biological activities that resulted in larger soil organic carbon contents.
