“…Increases in MAOM-C in such soils will have little effect on the total SOC stock because their capacity to accrue C in MAOM is strongly limited and they are commonly dominated by C stored in POM 111 . Heathland or plaggen soils in northwestern Europe 45,112 , for example, are mostly sand-rich, the C content is uncorrelated to MAOM 45,113 , and they store exceptionally high C amounts in POM 113,114 . This POM likely persists due to high contents of lipids, aliphatic compounds, and sterols that mainly originate from heathland vegetation and sustained high inputs of organic matter 112,113 .…”

“…Heathland or plaggen soils in northwestern Europe 45,112 , for example, are mostly sand-rich, the C content is uncorrelated to MAOM 45,113 , and they store exceptionally high C amounts in POM 113,114 . This POM likely persists due to high contents of lipids, aliphatic compounds, and sterols that mainly originate from heathland vegetation and sustained high inputs of organic matter 112,113 . In our view, maintenance of and/or increase in C stocks in such sandy soils should be based on sustained inputs of "recalcitrant" organic matter with high C:N ratios, such as biochar 115 , to maintain and increase POM-C, rather than on a MAOM-focused approach using high-quality plant inputs 45 (Fig.…”

“…Additionally, plaggen management of agricultural fields in many parts of Europe, for example, Netherlands (Spek, 2014), northern Belgium, Denmark (Blume & Leinweber, 2004), and Germany (Urbanski et al, 2022), during the 10th to early 20th century AD resulted in the formation of chemical enriched dark soils. Plaggic materials (e.g., topsoil clods of mineral soil, organic surface layer, and living plants) used as bedding in animal sheds was mixed with excrements and organic household wastes and then applied to fields (Blume & Leinweber, 2004).…”

“…The addition of plaggen material to the topsoils induced a volume increase as well as higher OC concentrations in the Ap horizons, resulting in significantly higher SOC stocks and fertility in the Plaggic Anthrosols compared to surrounding soils. The increase in yields, in turn resulted in higher in-situ OM input, most probably also contributing to high SOC stocks (Urbanski et al, 2022). Paddy soils occurring widely in Asia are also highly modified by specific paddy management operations, especially artificial submergence and drainage, ploughing and puddling (= ploughing and levelling the surface layer of a submerged soil), organic manuring (animal manure, rice straw, and other crop residues, often fermented with sediments taken from the river or channel), liming, and fertilization.…”
