• Nonlinear temperature change responses shape soil organic carbon loss-gain transitions in global Mollisol croplands (2026) · Nature Communications · doi

  Further studies are needed to investigate the impact of land use change and soil management practices on SOC dynamics in global Mollisol croplands. The development of more accurate and efficient methods for predicting SOC stocks is needed. The study's approach can be applied to other regions and ecosystems to investigate SOC dynamics and inform decision-making and policy development.

• Nonlinear temperature change responses shape soil organic carbon loss-gain transitions in global Mollisol croplands (2026) · Nature Communications · doi

  The study used a limited number of soil samples (5535) and may not be representative of the entire global Mollisol region. The study did not consider other factors that may influence SOC dynamics, such as land use change and soil management practices.
