Soil Organic Matter Dynamics and Carbon Sequestration welcomes research on the processes and impacts of organic matter stabilisation and destabilisation in soils. Understanding these functions is important for sustainable environmental management and the mitigation and adaptation to climate change.
Read MoreThe section Soil Organic Matter Dynamics and Carbon Sequestration of the journal Frontiers in Soil Science publishes original, high quality fundamental and applied research on the processes and impacts of organic matter stabilisation and destabilisation in soils. These are important topics for sustainable environmental management, and their understanding may be used to enhance soil functions to mitigate and adapt to climate change and for increasing food security.
Soil organic matter dynamics and carbon sequestration is a dynamic field with rapid changing paradigms due to recent methodological developments. It requires an interdisciplinary approach taking into account physical, chemical and biological processes at interphases. Aiming at fostering the detailed understanding of the field, this section welcomes, but is not limited to articles dealing with
● Controls of organic matter chemistry and turnover in different soil types at various spatial and temporal scales
● Processes, benefits and trade-offs of soil organic and inorganic carbon sequestration
● New experimental and modelling approaches to advance our understanding of soil organic matter dynamics and its impacts
● Consequences of climate change for organic matter dynamics in organic and mineral soils
● Barriers and solutions for successful implementation of soil carbon sequestration strategies in different environments and soil types
● Coupling of C cycle with N, P cycles, and stoichiometry constraints on organic matter dynamics and carbon sequestration
