Significant carbon isotopic fractionation during early formation of biological soil crusts with indications for dryland carbon cycling
Summary: Clarifying the accumulation and decomposition of soil organic carbon (SOC) is crucial for comprehending carbon cycling in terrestrial ecosystems. SOC enrichment and decomposition lead to the fractionation of stable carbon isotopes, a complex process influenced by various factors, including...
