Radiocarbon based turnover rates of soil organic matter fractions along climatic and biogeochemical gradients across in Switzerland
(2022)EGUsphereSoil organic matter (SOM) is the largest organic carbon (OC) pool on Earth’s surface after sedimentary rocks. Soil carbon storage is a key process that can mitigate climate change through the sequestration of CO2 from the atmosphere. However, numerous uncertainties persist concerning how SOM reacts to changing environments due to the challenges in disentangling the effects and interplay between different climatic and physico-chemical ...Other Conference Item -
Using radiocarbon to identify the impact of climate and mineralogy on soil organic matter turnover
(2023)EGUsphereSoils are the largest carbon (C) reservoir in terrestrial ecosystems. There are still numerous uncertainties concerning the fate of soil organic carbon and its feedback on climate change. Radiocarbon is a useful approach to better understanding the carbon cycle. The nuclear weapon testing in the 1960s induced a peak in 14C atmospheric concentration – a signal that can be used to trace the incorporation and turnover of C in soil. By ...Other Conference Item
