Soil microenvironment and microbial community composition jointly regulate carbon accrual in agricultural soils
Much of the persistent soil organic carbon (SOC) pool is microbial in origin: microorganisms process plant carbon into biomass and their necromass can associate with mineral surfaces, contributing to long-term carbon persistence. This has generated interest in microbial interventions such as inoculation to restore carbon in degraded croplands, yet their efficacy remains uncertain. The uncertainty…
