Title : Persistence of soil organic matter as an ecosystem property
Journal : Nature
Comment :
1) Root-derived carbon is retained in soils much more efficiently than are above-ground inputs of leaves and needles. Isotopic analyses and comparisons of root and shoot biomarkers confirm the dominance of root-derived molecular structures in soil and of root-derived carbon in soil microorganisms. Fresh root inputs may ‘prime’ microbial activity, leading to faster decomposition of older organic matter.

2) Despite their low carbon concentrations, subsoil horizons contribute to more than half of the global soil carbon stocks. In fact, the response of deep soils to land-use change can equal that from the top 30 cm of soil.
