Soil organic carbon (SOC) is one of the most important carbon stocks and has large potential to affect global climate. Management of soils to increase SOC levels can therefore increase the productivity and sustainability of agricultural systems...

Drying and rewetting cycles affect many different soil characteristics. Dissolved organic carbon is a very important soil property, which can be affected by drying and rewetting cycles. In the present study, the effect of one to five drying...

facilitated a spatial increase in heterogeneous organic carbon accumulation. Combined with low marine sulfate, this resulted in varying degrees of carbon isotope overprinting. A simulated time series suggests that a 50 % increase in the spatial scatter...

The objective of this study was to determine the influence of tillage methods (conventional tillage (CT) and minimum tillage (MT)) and N rates (0, 50, 150, 250 kg N ha−1) on crop yield, N uptake and soil organic carbon (SOC), bulk density (BD...

in significant decreases in organic carbon, available potassium and pH. Reduction of annual organic matter input to soil as a result of deforestation and also rapid oxidation of organic matter in deforested places were responsible for a significant decrease in OC...

application (5.0 g C m-2.yr-1) and in low input system with compost application (2.7 g C m-2.yr-1). The highest soil organic carbon and organic matter contents were observed in low input based on cow manure application (2.0 and 3.4 percent, respectively...
