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.

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.

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 ...

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 ...

A study across the East Midlands comparing the effects of zero-till and ploughing on soil structure has revealed how porosity and carbon accumulation evolves differently according to cultivation ...
