The balance between organic matter (OM) decay and persistence plays a crucial role in determining the carbon stored in soils, sediments, rivers, and seas. Still, despite of decades of research, there is no unified conceptual framework for OM degradation (decay) and preservation (delay) across terrestrial, freshwater, and marine ecosystems.
