It turns out, it is primarily the network of soil pores that controls the spatial distribution of carbon. Soils store more carbon than all the vegetation on the Earth's surface. However ...

The findings, published last week in the scientific journal Nature Communications, reveal the importance of soil pore structure for stimulating soil carbon accumulation and protection.

As they write in Nature Communications, it is primarily the network of soil pores that controls the spatial distribution of carbon. In the public debate on climate protection, the importance of soil ...

Humus has the added bonus of binding the three different soil pore sizes, which improves pore space. So clay pores open up resulting in better soil drainage and air to plant roots, while sandy ...

This surface layer of the soil is common in deserts and contains pores of different shapes, called vesicles and vughs. "These horizons are important because of their role in many processes," Turk ...

Ohio State Extension educator Lee Beers explains the process of soil crusting and how to reduce the risk on your farm.

It helps to hold the soil together and creates pores that protect the soil from erosion and increase its capacity to store water. Some of this organic material is also locked away with soil ...

"We used batch adsorption testing to gain a deeper insight into how plastic particles accumulate in soil pores. This property hasn't been well explained in column studies," explains co-author Kawabe.

The findings, published last week in the scientific journal Nature Communications, reveal the importance of soil pore structure for stimulating soil carbon accumulation and protection.
