Soil organic carbon saturation deficit under primary agricultural managements across major croplands in China
Introduction: To generate information for the effective management of soil organic carbon (SOC) sequestration in Chinese croplands, we compared the additional organic carbon (C) that can be stabilized by fine soil particles (<20 μm) with typical fertilization practices across soil types and clima...
