Divergent impact of long-term anthropogenic nitrogen inputs on global particulate and mineral-associated organic carbon

Abstract Background Soil organic carbon (SOC) represents the largest carbon sink in terrestrial ecosystems. Anthropogenic nitrogen inputs increase the levels of reactive nitrogen, significantly influencing SOC dynamics. Given the complexity of SOC, it remains unclear how its key components—particula...
