The ‘4 per mille Soils for Food Security and Climate’ was launched at the COP21 with an
aspiration to increase global soil organic matter stocks by 4 per 1000 (or 0.4 %) per year as a …

The capacity of soils to store organic carbon represents a key function of soils that is not only
decisive for climate regulation but also affects other soil functions. Recent efforts to assess …

Land‐use change (LUC) is a major driving factor for the balance of soil organic carbon (SOC)
stocks and the global carbon cycle. The temporal dynamic of SOC after LUC is especially …

Yearly, per‐area carbon sequestration rates are used to estimate mitigation potentials by
comparing types and areas of land management in 1990 and 2000 and projected to 2010, for …

Agriculture is considered to be among the economic sectors having the greatest greenhouse
gas mitigation potential, largely via soil organic carbon (SOC) sequestration. However, it …

Sustainable soil carbon sequestration practices need to be rapidly scaled up and implemented
to contribute to climate change mitigation. We highlight that the major potential for carbon …

The soil science community is facing a growing demand of regional, continental, and worldwide
databases in order to monitor the status of the soil. However, the availability of such data …

Soil organic carbon is a key soil property related to soil fertility, aggregate stability and the
exchange of CO 2 with the atmosphere. Existing soil maps and inventories can rarely be used …

Fractionation of soil organic carbon (SOC) is crucial for mechanistic understanding and
modeling of soil organic matter decomposition and stabilization processes. It is often aimed at …

Sediment production by gully erosion and by interrill and rill erosion inthree study areas,
representing contrasting agricultural environ ments (ie central Belgium, southeast Portugal and …
