Temperature sensitivity of soil organic matter decomposition—what do we know? (2009, background): “Recent findings by Kirkby et al. (2005) and Hopkins et al. (2009) do not support the estimates of Bellamy et al. (2005).”
Crossing Disciplines and Scales to Understand the Critical Zone (2007, background): “The data document systematic carbon loss of 0.6% per year (relative to the existing soil carbon content) from the upper 15 cm regardless of soil properties and land use (Bellamy et al. 2005).”
SOM genesis: microbial biomass as a significant source (2012, background): “Changes in SOM stocks will therefore affect atmospheric CO2 concentrations (Bellamy et al. 2005).”
Quantifying global soil carbon losses in response to warming (2016, methodology): “Equation (1) was extrapolated with 95% confidence interval bounds by randomly selecting 200 samples from all studies, randomizing the control–warmed pairings and repeating the regression 1,000 times.”
Soil Degradation and Soil Quality in Western Europe: Current situation and future perspectives (2014, background): “5–2 g SOC/kg soil per year were observed in England and Wales between 1973 and 2003 [59].”
Heterotrophic soil respiration in forestry-drained peatlands (2007, background): “It has therefore been suggested (Bellamy et al. 2005, Knorr et al. 2005) that the predicted climatic warming would also increase heterotrophic respiration of soil organic matter and thus the efflux of C from soils to the atmosphere, causing a positive feedback effect.”
The dependence of respiration on photosynthetic substrate supply and temperature: integrating leaf, soil and ecosystem measurements (2006, background): “In addition, terrestrial ecosystems have large stores of carbon, especially in soils, which are potentially vulnerable to temperature changes (Cox et al., 2000; Bellamy et al., 2005).”
A review of biochars' potential role in the remediation, revegetation and restoration of contaminated soils. (2011, background): “Given that contaminated land often contains young, poorly developed soils with little or no vegetation cover (Bellamy et al., 2005; Mench et al., 2010) the revegetation of contaminated soils is key to its stabilisation (Arienzo et al., 2004; Ruttens et al., 2006) and the presence of a vegetative…”
