A global study has revealed that mineral-associated organic matter (MAOM) serves as the most stable long-term reservoir of ...

AMES, Iowa – A new study from Iowa State University scientists sheds light on the mystery of how soil organic matter forms across a wide range of ecosystems. The study, published in the academic ...

Wildfires may be releasing more planet-warming carbon dioxide and toxic chemicals than previously anticipated — by changing the composition of the soil systems that they burn, a new study has found.

US researchers are developing an AI-powered microscope system that could make soil health testing faster, cheaper, and more ...

Storing more carbon in soil helps slow climate change and makes croplands more productive. But there are two kinds of soil carbon that are both important, but function very differently.

Comparing the soil organic matter on conventional and organic farms found 26 percent more long-term carbon storage potential on organic farms.

Reid acknowledges the drop in soil organic carbon, but argues that it was caused not by synthetic nitrogen itself, but rather by the difference in composition between manure and synthetic nitrogen.

Organic foods create healthier soil that sequesters more carbon It is estimated that global croplands have the potential to store an additional 1.85 gigatons of carbon each year. This is as much as ...
