High-latitude soils are future soil organic carbon loss hotspots, with losses dominated by particulate organic carbon (POC). The fraction of POC in total SOC (fPOC) is a key indicator, emphasizing the...

Actionable research recommendations are outlined to improve the monitoring and modelling of forest resources and their carbon sink, and to better inform forest management decisions and the European Gr...

Loss of soil organic carbon (SOC) from farmland is a key threat to the capacity of soils to provide ecosystem services and exacerbates climate change. In alignment with a published protocol, we conduc...

Managing soils to increase organic carbon presents a potential opportunity to mitigate and adapt to global change challenges. However, soils differ widely in their biophysical limits for carbon accum...

Over 60% of European soils are unhealthy, costing the European Union €40.9–72.7 billion annually. This figure can rise to €140 billion if all degradation processes are included. Soil degradation wors...

Soil biodiversity drives many of the ecosystem processes that support life on earth, yet evaluating soil biodiversity has proven to be both challenging and time consuming. Often, expert knowledge and ...

Current food systems account for approximately 30 % of anthropogenic greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions; therefore, consumers' dietary preferences can hav…

Natural recovery generally benefits soil organic carbon (SOC) accrual in abandoned croplands, but the impact of warming on SOC in this ecosystem is unclear. Here, the authors showed that warming enhan...

Carbon markets are key in climate strategies, but only 16% of carbon credits represent real emission reductions, based on a study of 2,346 projects. Reforms are needed to improve the effectiveness of ...
