<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin:0in 0in 8pt;line-height:107%;font-size:11pt;font-family:"Calibri",sans-serif"><span>Abstract: </span>Mechanisms of soil organic matter (SOM)
stabilization regulate turnover of SOM by making biodegradation energetically
or physically unfavorable. Though similar mechanisms of SOM stabilization are
at work across a wide diversity of soils, which soil conditions determine their
relative importance is just beginning to be elucidated. We utilized soil cores from
35 National Ecological Observatory Network (NEON) experimental plots, covering
a wide diversity of ecosystem and soil types, to examine the influence of
physicochemical parameters on soil C abundance and turnover, and their relative
importance in comparison to climatic variables. Soils from three depths at each
site were density fractionated into free/light, occluded and heavy fractions.
Carbon and radiocarbon abundance were examined among fractions and in the
context of climatic variables (e.g. temperature, precipitation, moisture
balance) and soil physiochemical variables (e.g. texture, pH, exchangeable
cations, reactive metals). The abundance and persistence (i.e. stability or
mean residence time) of C differed among fractions and with depth, as expected.
Organic matter abundance in surface horizons was more closely associated with
climate variability than that of subsurface horizons. Perhaps the most
interesting result of this study is the strong bifurcation in soil organic
matter cycling characteristics in arid versus humid environments. <span></span></p>
