The 15 pages that link to Soil carbon, each with the reason it gives.

• Carbon sequestrationRelated: Plants and soil processes move atmospheric carbon into a major terrestrial reservoir.

• Fire ecologyRelated: Fire can consume surface carbon, alter soil stocks, and change later inputs.

• GrasslandRelated: Deep roots and relatively low disturbance can make grassland soils major carbon stores.

• Carbon sinkRelated: Soils accumulate carbon from dead organisms and roots, but also release it through decomposition.

• AfforestationRelated: Tree establishment changes litter inputs and can alter soil carbon stocks.

• CompostRelated: Adding compost can increase soil carbon, though the amount retained varies by site and practice.

• DetritusRelated: Detrital inputs are a major source of soil organic carbon.

• PampasRelated: Long-lived grass roots contribute organic matter to Pampas soils and link the region to carbon cycling.

• Soil degradationRelated: Changes in soil carbon indicate important shifts but cannot alone represent all degradation.

• Climate change and agricultureRelated: Climate and farming practices jointly determine whether soils store or release carbon.

• StrawRelated: Retaining straw can add carbon to soil, though the amount retained depends on conditions.

• Environmental microbiologyRelated: Microbial decomposition and growth govern how much soil carbon persists or escapes as gas.

• Soil ecosystemRelated: Decomposition and plant inputs determine whether the ecosystem stores or releases carbon.

• Temperate grasslandsRelated: Deep-rooted grasses contribute organic matter that can accumulate below ground.

• TopsoilRelated: Topsoil often contains substantial soil carbon, which can be lost through disturbance and erosion.
