Short summary
Soil contains a large amount of organic carbon and plays a crucial role in regulating Earth's C cycle and climate system. In this study, we collected soil-carbon isotope data within a 1 m depth globally and provided an isotope-based approach for understanding soil carbon decomposition rate. Compared with other methods, utilization of C isotope composition ratios in the soil profile provides an independent approach that does not rely on disruption of plant-soil-microbe interactions.
