Depth-Independent Soil Organic Carbon Persistence across Climate Gradients in Coastal Wetlands

Coastal wetland soils constitute a major global blue carbon pool. Yet, how soil organic carbon (SOC) persistence varies with soil depth and responds to climate change remains poorly understood. Here, we assessed depth-related patterns and climatic controls on SOC persistence using radiocarbon (Δ14C) measurements from...

Long-term biochar amendment increased dissimilatory nitrate reduction to ammonium concomitantly suppressing denitrification and anaerobic ammonium oxidation in deep alkaline paddy soil

Dissimilatory nitrate reduction to ammonium (DNRA) conserves soil nitrogen (N), whereas denitrification and anaerobic ammonium oxidation (anammox) can result in soil N loss. Despite biochar’s potential to modulate N cycling pathways, its effects on dissimilatory nitrate reduction in alkaline paddy soils remain poorly c...
