Application of δ<sup>13</sup>C and δ<sup>15</sup>N isotopic signatures of organic matter fractions sequentially separated from adjacent arable and forest soils to identify carbon stabilization mechanisms
Identifying the chemical mechanisms behind soil carbon bound in organo-mineral complexes is necessary to determine the degree to which soil organic carbon is stabilized belowground. Analysis of δ<sup>13</sup>C and δ<sup>15</sup>N isotopic signatures of sta...
