Decompostion: a set complex processes that drives soil organic carbon dynamics; A general conceptual framework for understanding soil biological activity; From theory to practice: how could we manage soil self-organized engineering to enhance carbon sequestration?
The amount of carbon stored in soils is the result of complex interactions among different sets of self-organized systems operating at nested scales in time and space. To foster organic carbon accumulation in soil, a rigorous scientific analysis is necessary to understand the underlying mechanisms, identify the processes that can be managed, and the ones that cannot, and refine management options to accelerate the process.
