Competing Processes Drive the Resistance of Soil Carbon to Alterations in Organic Inputs

Protecting existing soil carbon (C) and harnessing the C sequestration potential of soils require an improved understanding of the processes through which soil organic matter accumulates in natural systems. Currently, competing hypotheses exist regarding the dominant mechanisms for soil C stabilizat...
