Laura E. Skadell, Florian Schneider et al.: Twenty percent of agricultural management effects on organic carbon stocks occur in subsoils – Results of ten long-term experiments

Subsoil is defined as the soil below the tilled soil layers, starting at an average depth of 30cm. This study shows that subsoil is also affected by agricultural management and must therefore be taken into account when determining changes in soil organic carbon stocks.
