  abstract = {{S}oil organic matter ({SOM}), which associates carbon ({C}) to key plant nutrients, has been stored in soil for thousands of years. {S}cientists have long recognised its positive impact on key environmental functions such as food production and climate regulation. {A}s soon as a virgin land (forest or grassland) is cultivated, there is a tendency for the soil to lose its {SOM}, and we still largely misunderstand the underlying mechanisms, leading to inappropriate decisions being taken to fight soil, climate, and overall ecosystem degradation.},
