Intercontinental correlation of organic carbon and …
The stable carbon isotope composition of bulk organic matter is affected by changes in the terrestrial contribution to the total organic carbon (TOC) (Kuypers et al., 2004): Cretaceous marine organic matter typically yields δ 13 C values that are lower by 3 to 4‰ compared to coeval land plant or terrestrial organic C, so changing ratios of ...
Lime and/or Phosphate Application Affects the Stability of Soil Organic …
The mechanisms by which lime and/or phosphate addition impacts the preservation of soil organic matter (OM) are poorly understood. We explored the changes in quantity and chemistry of water-extractable organic matter (WEOM) in the bulk soil and its heavy density fraction (>1.6 g/cm 3) of an unmanaged C-rich volcanic soil caused by …
Direct evidence indicates that revegetation improves organic carbon …
In high N and low C sediments, studies have often found that the availability of organic carbon becomes a limiting factor for denitrification processes (Grebliunas and Perry, 2016). For headwater river ecosystems, the confluence of surface or subsurface runoff into rivers is often accompanied by higher terrestrial C source inputs and lower N ...

INTRODUCTION. Recycling of organic matter in sediments is an important component of biogeochemical cycles because marine sediments are critical for long-term carbon storage (1, 2).Prokaryotes in deep oceanic subsurface account for more than 25% of global cell numbers (), and it is still controversial whether Archaea or Bacteria are …
Effect of cropping practices on soil organic carbon: evidence …
Despite considerable research, predicting how soil organic carbon (SOC) in grain production systems will respond to conservation management practices, such as reduced tillage, residue retention and alternative rotations, remains difficult because of the slowness of change and apparent site specificity of the effects. We compared SOC …
Post-farming land restoration schemes exhibit higher soil …
For example, vegetation restoration can improve soil organic carbon storage, soil aggregate stability, and soil and water conservation (Liu et al., 2019). Returning farmland to forest can increase organic carbon storage by 20–50%, but converting forest to farmland can reduce organic carbon storage by ∼ 40% (Guo and Gifford, 2002).
14C-Dead Living Biomass: Evidence for Microbial Assimilation of …
14 C provides a useful tracer of carbon sources in many surficial environments. Atmospheric CO 2 is enriched in 14 C, which decays to 14 N with a half-life of 5730 years. Thus, any organic material greater than ∼60,000 years in age, or any biomolecule assembled from an ancient carbon source, contains essentially no 14 C. …
Heavy thinning reduces soil organic carbon: Evidence from …
Forest thinning is a common forest management practice and has complex effects on soil organic carbon (SOC). However, the mechanisms underlying SOC and its components (physical fractions and chemical compositions) in response to forest thinning remain poorly understood. Four thinning treatments including control (CK with no thinning), light …

The Woodford Shale core recovery is 41 m thick in the Wyche core, 11 m thick in the East Fitts core and 15 m thick in the Chitwood–Harris core (Fig. 1), and is primarily composed of organic rich shale (Fig. 2 f) with intermittent chert intervals (1–10 cm thick) as well as more silty intervals.All sediments lack evidence of storm-wave reworking …
Reduced Lignin Decomposition and Enhanced Soil Organic Carbon …
Understanding the soil organic matter (SOM) dynamics in forest ecosystems is important because soils are the largest pool of carbon (C) on Earth [6,7].As a key ecological process responsible for the transfer of organic matter from vegetation to soil, plant litter decomposition plays a critical role in global C cycling [8,9,10].Plant …

Reforestation accelerates soil organic carbon accumulation: …
Soils store more carbon (C) belowground than plants and the atmosphere combined, providing a critical ecosystem service. While previous research has shown that sustainable forest management practices can increase soil C storage by enhancing plant productivity, the role of soil microbes remains elusive. We analyzed changes in plant …
Post-farming land restoration schemes exhibit higher soil …
The soil organic carbon stocks were calculated using the following equations (Deng et al., 2016): (4) S O C S t o c k = S O C × B D × T 10 where SOC Stock represents soil organic carbon stocks (Mg∙ha −1), SOC represents the soil organic carbon content (g∙kg −1), BD represents the soil bulk density (g∙cm −3), and T …
Biochar increases soil carbon pools: Evidence from a …
Biochar is a carbon-rich material that increases soil C sequestration and mitigates climate change. However, due to the variability of experimental conditions, types of biochar and soil, the influence of biochar on the accumulation of different soil carbon fractions remains unclear. Therefore, a meta-analysis was performed that included 586 ...

Soil organic carbon dynamics following natural vegetation …
1. Introduction. Globally, soil contains 1500–2300 Pg of organic carbon (OC), approximately twice as much as the amount in the atmosphere and three times the amount in terrestrial vegetation (Lal, 2004), and thus has a most important role in balancing atmospheric carbon dioxide (CO 2) concentration (Briones et al., 2006).Whether soil …

Responses of soil organic carbon turnover to nitrogen …
The SOC pool comprises approximately 2/3 of the terrestrial organic carbon (Post et al., 1990; Amundson, 2001). Its alteration in response to N enrichment may significantly influence the carbon dioxide (CO 2 ) concentration in atmosphere and thus has implications for global C cycle and climate change.
Soil organic carbon turnover recovers faster than plant …
Soil organic carbon (SOC) turnover is a key parameter in the terrestrial ecosystem model and ecosystem management (Tan et al., 2020), and SOC pool is the largest terrestrial C reservoir (Amundson, 2001). Thus, the changes in SOC turnover caused by decreased N deposition might significantly affect global C cycle and further …

Evidence for high organic carbon export to the early Cambrian …
However, direct evidence of high organic carbon export fluxes to the early Cambrian seafloor is lacking, so a key test of the "organic carbon burial hypothesis" for the Cambrian Explosion has not been undertaken to date. Both Mo (δ 98 Mo) and U isotopes (δ 238 U) in organic-rich black shales have been used to track local and global …
