Background Anthropogenic land use changes (LUCs) impart intensifying impacts on soil organic carbon (SOC) turnover, leading to uncertainty concerning SOC mineralization patterns and determining whether soils act as “source” or “sink” in the global carbon budget. Therefore, understanding the SOC mine...
