The international 4 per 1000 initiative aims at supporting states and non-governmental stakeholders in their efforts towards a better management of soil carbon (C) stocks. These stocks depend on soil C inputs and outputs. They are the result of fine spatial scale interconnected mechanisms, which stabilise/destabilise organic matter-borne C. Since 2016, the CarboSMS consortium federates French researchers working on these mechanisms and their effects on C stocks in a local and global change setting ( ...

Abstract There is currently an intense debate about the potential for additional organic carbon storage in soil, the strategies by which it may be accomplished and what the actual benefits might be for agriculture and the climate. Controversy forms an essential part of the scientific process, but on the topic of soil carbon storage, it may confuse the agricultural community and the general public and may delay actions to fight climate change. In an attempt to shed light on this topic, the originality ...

Due to its influence on multiple soil processes, water intervenes in biogeochemical cycles at multiple spatial scales with contrasting effects on soil organic carbon (SOC) dynamics. On all scales, water availability influences biological processes, such as plant growth and (micro-)biological activity, leading to organic matter input, its decomposition and stabilisation. On the other hand, SOC influences soil hydrology via its impact on soil wettability and its structural organisation. Our objectives ...

In the last decade, our understanding of plant litter decomposition and soil organic matter formation substantially improved but critical blind spots remain. Particularly, the role of detritivores, i.e. soil animals that feed on litter and soil, is poorly understood and notoriously missing from biogeochemical models. This major gap results from methodological difficulties to isolate their effect and from the astonishing diversity of detritivorous organisms with few common features, thereby hampering ...

The role of earthworms on biogeochemical carbon cycling is a major knowledge gap resulting from the difficulty of isolating and exploring the effects provided by the diversity of organisms. In this study, we investigated the effect of six earthworm species belonging to three ecological categories on soil organic carbon (SOC) mineralization. To this end, we produced casts in microcosms with the six species in the same soil and with the same litter material. The casts were subjected to laboratory ageing ...

Initially discovered in anaplastic large cell lymphoma (ALCL), the ALK anaplastic lymphoma kinase is a tyrosine kinase which is affected in lymphomas by oncogenic translocations, mainly NPM-ALK. To date, chemotherapy remains a viable option in ALCL patients with ALK translocations as it leads to remission rates of approximately 80%. However, the remaining patients do not respond to chemotherapy and some patients have drug-resistant relapses. It is therefore crucial to identify new and better treatment ...

Clay-sized soil minerals are known to protect organic carbon (OC) from mineralisation by formation of organo-mineral associations limiting its availability to microorganisms. The impact of soil fauna on these processes is poorly known. The aim of this study was to investigate the effect of earthworms on organic matter (OM) decomposition and association with minerals during a laboratory experiment. We used a model system consisting of fresh OM incubated with and without epigeic earthworms (Eisenia andrei ...

Stabilization of organic matter (OM) against decomposition and its de-stabilization leading to mineralization, are important processes in the control of greenhouse gas emissions and carbon sequestration in soils. Soil organisms, particularly earthworms, may influence these processes greatly through their potential impacts on the interaction of OM with clay minerals, which is a mechanism which may protect OM for medium (years) to long (decades, centuries) time scales. The aim of this study was to use ...

Lagooning sludge (LS), which is used as soil amendment in Morocco, may contain microplastics (MPs). The aim of this study was to examine the effect of dewatering and co-composting of LS with green waste (GW) on the MPs’ evolution. In this context the present study proposes fast-preliminary steps to detect plastics in lagooning sewage sludge before the extraction and identification process. We used pyrolysis GC/MS spectrometry to investigate the presence of chemical compounds possibly derived from plastics, ...

The quality of organic soil amendments such as composts and vermicomposts can be improved by using additives during their production. However, little is known about the impact of these materials on carbon flow in the plant-soil system. We investigated the impact of organic amendments produced through composting and vermicomposting in the presence of clay minerals (montmorillonite) and/or earthworms on plants (perennial ryegrass, Lolium perenne and common bean, Phaseolus vulgaris) and carbon flow in ...

The soil, at the interface between geosphere, biosphere, and atmosphere, is a particularly challenging object to study. The ecological and environmental impacts of soil functioning encourage soil scientists to exploit new technologies to generate new data or develop new research protocols. Among these technologies, 3D printing is a promising technology for improving the understanding of soils. The general principle of 3D printing is to build parts by adding materials layer by layer following a three- ...

Applying composts is useful for increasing soil carbon (C) stocks and improving agricultural productivity. In order to understand the effects of composts on soil organic matter (SOM) formation and mineralisation, 13C-labelled plant residues, previously composted or not, were incubated in an arable soil. The amount of 13C was quantified in the CO2 evolved, the dissolved organic carbon (DOC) and in the microbial biomass (MB). Composting decreased (from 29 to 9%) the proportion of the plant residue labile ...

Composting and vermicomposting are sustainable strategies to transform organic wastes into organic amendments, valuable as potting media or soil conditioner. However, the negative aspects of these processes are emissions of greenhouse gases and odorous molecules and final product potentially containing toxic compounds. These negative aspects can be limited through the addition of organic, inorganic or biological additives to the composted or vermicomposted mixture. The aims of this review are (1) ...

A novel method coupling pyrolysis with mid-infrared spectroscopy (Py-MIRS) was developed to characterize soil organic matter (SOM) chemistry in soils. The pyrolyzer was interfaced to the MIR spectrometer by means of a Brill cell™ (CDS Analytica). The set-up generates pyrolysis fingerprint spectra from which individual pyrolysis products can be related to SOM bulk chemistry. Py-MIRS development involved the testing of experimental conditions like pyrolysis temperature (550, 700, 1000 °C), heating rate ( ...

Urban compost application in agroecosystems enhances soil fertility but can also be a source of (micro)plastics, which are not completely removed during the composting process. Knowledge of the fate of these plastics in regularly-amended soils is thus an issue for the environmental management of these soils.

Implementation of ley grassland into crop rotation could have positive influence in soil ecosystem services such as C storage. The periodical changes of land-use plus the in situ labelling given by the introduction of maize crops under ley grassland induce differences in soil organic matter (SOM) that could be traced either by stable isotopes or by the characterization of plant biomarkers such as lignin derived phenols. Evaluation of SOM dynamics is often limited by the complexity of soil matrix. ...

Abstract. In this study we evaluated CO2 emissions during composting of green wastes with clay and/or biochar in the presence and absence of worms (species of the genus Eisenia), as well as the effect of those amendments on carbon mineralization after application to soil. We added two different doses of clay, biochar or their mixture to pre-composted green wastes and monitored carbon mineralization over 21 days in the absence or presence of worms. The resulting co-composts and vermicomposts were ...

Up to now stabilization of organic matter (OM) in soils due to mineral interactions has been assessed mainly by correlations between carbon and iron and/or aluminum oxides evidencing that metal oxides may be principal stabilization agents.
