| description | The study is a global meta-analysis on soil organic carbon in the Anthropocene, based on more than 25,000 primary studies. It examines how land-use change, land management, and climate change affect soil organic carbon levels.
Its main findings indicate that land conversion for agricultural production causes significant soil organic carbon loss, although certain practices can partially restore it, that forest land management tends to reduce soil organic carbon, and that indirect effects of climate change, such as wildfires, have a greater impact on soil organic carbon than rising temperatures.
The study provides evidence that can help decision-makers protect soil organic carbon stocks and promote restoration practices. It also highlights research areas that require more attention to better understand the factors influencing soil organic carbon. |

El estudio es un meta-análisis global sobre el carbono orgánico del suelo en el Antropoceno, basado en más de 25,000 estudios primarios. Examina cómo el cambio de uso del suelo, la gestión de la tierra y el cambio climático afectan los niveles de carbono orgánico del suelo. Sus principales hallazgos indican que la conversión de tierras para la producción agrícola causa una gran pérdida de carbono orgánico del suelo, aunque ciertas prácticas pueden restaurarlo parcialmente, que la gestión de tierras en bosques tiende a reducir el carbono orgánico del suelo y que los efectos indirectos del cambio climático, como los incendios forestales, tienen un impacto mayor en el carbono orgánico del suelo que el aumento de temperatura. El estudio proporciona evidencia que puede ayudar a los tomadores de decisiones a proteger los depósitos de carbono orgánico del suelo y promover prácticas de restauración. También destaca áreas de investigación que requieren más atención para comprender mejor los factores que influyen en el carbono orgánico del suelo. 2025-06-06T21:17:14Z 2025-06-06T21:17:14Z 2023-06-05 Artículo https://repositorio.catie.ac.cr/handle/11554/12909 openAccess en Nature Communications https://doi.org/10.1038/s41467-023-39338-z 10 páginas application/pdf Nature |
