Stability of buried carbon in deep-ploughed forest and cropland soils - implications for carbon stocks

Abstract Accumulation of soil organic carbon (SOC) may play a key role in climate change mitigation and adaptation. In particular, subsoil provides a great potential for additional SOC storage due to the assumed higher stability of subsoil SOC. The fastest way in which SOC reaches the subsoil is via...
