Microbial carbon recycling: an underestimated process controlling soil carbon dynamics – Part 2: A C<sub>3</sub>-C<sub>4</sub> vegetation change field labelling experiment
The mean residence times (MRT) of different compound classes of soil organic matter (SOM) do not match their inherent recalcitrance to decomposition. One reason for this is the stabilization within the soil matrix, but recycling, i.e. the reuse of "old" organic material to form new biomass...
