“…The secondary forest presented the largest carbon storage capacity (214 Mg C ha À1 ). The secondary forest total SOC storage performance was superior to the 138 Mg C ha À1 reported by Borchard et al (2019) over the 0-100 cm soil depth.…”

“…Compared to a commercial plantation of 20-year-old teak (Tectona grandis L.) at a 0-30 cm depth, oil palm almost doubles the SOC storage (Ruíz-Blandon et al, 2019). Compared to a 50-year-old rubber tree (Hevea brasiliensis) plantation, a young rubber tree plantation, and a cacao agroforestry system, all in Kalimantan, Indonesia (Borchard et al, 2019), oil palm plantation increased the soil carbon by 43, 45 and 56%, respectively. The age of the plantation can explain the superior SOC storage capacity.…”

There is a need for more studies on the effects of oil palm plantations on soil organic carbon storage and on the environmental services provided by these agrosystems in Mexico. This study focused on estimating the soil organic carbon stocks in three areas within oil palm plantations (palm circle, under the frond and between palm rows), at three soil depths (20, 40 and 60 cm) and comparing the carbon storage between different land-uses: a 20-year-old pasture (GS20), a 20-year-old oil palm plantation (OP20), and a secondary forest (SF20). Our results suggest that oil palm plantations store soil organic carbon mainly under frond areas when sown in lixisols and luvisols, with lower carbon sequestration in the palm circle. Regarding the soil depth, the estimated carbon storage was 87 Mg C ha−1 and 67 Mg C ha−1 at depths of 20 and 60 cm, respectively. Regarding land-use comparison, results indicate an increase (not statistically significant) in carbon storage to 27% at 20 cm depth and 18% at 60 cm between pasture and palm plantation. The second-growth forest presented higher carbon storage compared to both other land uses.

“…This suggests that thick humic soils can store more C at depth compared to thin humic soils. Although thin humic soils can store a substantial amount of C, depending on site and management practises (Thorburn et al, 2012), they are more prone to a decline because most of the C is in the surface layers which are most affected by a change in land use (Borchard et al, 2019).…”

“…The oxalotrophic bacteria and oxalogenic trees can be used to cultivate barren landmasses and abandoned agroforestry strips to enhance soil organic content via sequestration of soil carbon through OCP. The increase in the forest cover would also mitigate the effect of deforestation and help to stabilize the local and global climate system (Bellassen and Luyssaert, 2014;Borchard et al, 2019).…”

It is still an important aspect of global climate research to explore a low-cost method that can effectively reduce the increase of CO2 concentration in the global atmosphere. Oxalotrophic bacterial communities exist in agricultural or forest soil with ubiquitous oxalate as the only carbon and energy source. When soil oxalate is oxidized and degraded, carbonate is formed along with it. This process is called the oxalate carbonate pathway (OCP), which can increase soil inorganic carbon sink and soil organic matter content. This soil carbon sink is a natural CO2 trapping system and an important alternative if it is properly managed for artificial sequestration/storage. As the main driver of OCP, the oxalate degrading bacteria are affected by many factors during the oxalate conversion process. Understanding this process and the synergy of oxalogenic plants, saprophytic decomposers, and oxalotrophic bacteria in agricultural or forest soil is critical to exploiting this natural carbon capture process. This article aims to provide a broader perspective of OCP in CO2 sequestration, biomineralization, and elemental cycling.
