New Pub alert: How deep-rooted perennials change carbon dynamics in subsoils.

In this paper we showed that: (1) deep-rooted perennials stimulate the transfer of more atmospheric C to both surface and subsoils than shallow-rooted annuals, (2) newly generated SOC under deep-rooted perennials is relatively less protected from decomposition, and (3) reaping the C benefits of deep-rooted perennials could require maintaining the land cover as a perennial cropping system.
