Global hotspots of particulate organic carbon losses under climate change

High-latitude soils are future soil organic carbon loss hotspots, with losses dominated by particulate organic carbon (POC). The fraction of POC in total SOC (f_POC) is a key indicator, emphasizing the climate importance of preserving POC.

Plastic mulch productivity-sustainability tradeoffs and pathways toward an eco-friendly framework: insights from a global meta-analysis

This study finds that plastic mulch substantially increases crop yields but also contaminates soils and pollutes the environment. The authors propose biodegradable films, AI-driven farming, and policy reforms to address the productivity–sustainability trade-offs.

Rice paddy soils are a quantitatively important carbon store according to a global synthesis

Rice paddies represent approximately 1.2% of the global soil organic carbon pool and contain 20% more soil organic carbon per hectare than croplands on average, according to a global synthesis.
