Harnessing artificial intelligence to automate environmental predictions

The paper uses AI to iteratively improve environmental predictions by combining field sampling with machine learning, significantly enhancing sediment oxygen consumption forecasts across the U.S.

Continental-scale relationships of fine root and soil carbon stocks hold in grasslands but not forests

The paper examines the relationship between fine root carbon (FRC) and soil organic carbon (SOC) across grasslands and forests, finding a positive correlation in grasslands but not forests.

A large global soil carbon sink informed by repeated soil samplings

The paper quantifies a global soil organic carbon sink of 1.83 petagrams per year from 1992 to 2020, driven by extratropical and boreal ecosystems, highlighting the importance of soil conservation for climate mitigation.
