Inorganic Nutrients Increase Humification Efficiency and C-Sequestration in an Annually Cropped Soil

Removing carbon dioxide (CO2) from the atmosphere and storing the carbon (C) in resistant soil organic matter (SOM) is a global priority to restore soil fertility and help mitigate climate change. Although it is widely assumed that retaining rather than removing or burning crop residues will increas...
