Short summary
In soil, many factors influence how much carbon is stored: the structure of soil particles, microbial activity, and the balance of carbon and nitrogen. Using small-scale simulations, we can quantify and study their interplay. Nitrogen availability limits the microbial efficiency, and dead microbes contribute to long-term carbon storage by becoming occluded in aggregated soil particles. Our study offers new insights into how soils hold carbon, which is crucial for understanding climate change.
