Perennial crops like miscanthus, poplar, willow, conventional cut grasses, and other PCs have been studied for decades to address carbon sequestration and its sustainability over time (Carvalho et al.2017; Chimento et al.2016; McGowan et al.2019). A meta-analysis on soil carbon change at diff...
Here, we constructed a meta-analysis which focused on 30 cm soil depth by collecting data from over 191 studies measuring soil organic carbon (SOC) stocks across natural, urban green space, and urban intensive habitats. We then compared the SOC data between different climatic zones, vegetation ...
Currently, meta-analysis has made a revolutionary effect in the field of soil science, and great achievements have been acquired16,17. Du et al.18 employed a meta-analysis to assess the effects of no-till on the SOC storage compared to conventional tillage, and found that the influences of...
Effects of recultivation on soil organic carbon sequestration in abandoned coal mining sites: a meta-analysis Abstract Opencast coal mining results in high loss of soil organic carbon (SOC), which may be restored via recultivation. Common strategies include liming, topsoil application, and ...
Therefore, the main objective of this meta-analysis was to investigate the effect of BMPs, such as organic amendments, conservation tillage, and cover cropping, on soil health within organic farming systems. We focused on two principal soil health metrics: soil organic carbon (SOC) and microbial...
Carbon (C) isotope tracers provide useful insights into soil C dynamics, as they allow to study soil C pools of different ages. We evaluated to what extent N enrichment affects soil C dynamics in experiments that applied C isotope tracers. Methods Using meta-analysis, we synthesized data from...
To this end, we performed a systematic meta-analysis of the response of SOC, MAOC, and POC to global changes. POC was particularly responsive, confirming that it is a better diagnostic indicator of soil C changes in the short-term, compared to bulk SOC and MAOC. The effects of elevated ...
The Grain for Green Program (GGP), initiated in 1999, is the largest ecological restoration project in central and western China. Here, for the first time, we performed a meta-analysis and found that the GGP largely increased the soil organic carbon (SOC
