“…Density and size fractionation techniques have helped to distinguish more rapidly cycled SOC from protected, less rapidly cycled C (Gregorich & Janzen, ; Jastrow, ; Kong, Six, Bryant, Denison, & van Kessel, ). More recently, in situ chemistry techniques have been used to investigate SOC transformation over timescales of hours to days (Hagerty et al., ; Mackelprang, Saleska, Jacobsen, Jansson, & Taş, ).…”
