We  propose that these mechanisms and their outcomes can be better  understood by testing how plant diversity affects particulate organic  matter (POM) and mineral-associated organic matter (MAOM) depending on  whether MAOM storage is \u201csaturated\u201d and the total soil organic matter  pool is limited by plant inputs. Such context-dependency of  plant-diversity effects on POM, MAOM, and total soil organic matter  helps explain inconsistencies in plant-diversity\u2013soil-carbon  relationships across studies. Further illumination of this  context-dependency is required to better predict consequences of  biodiversity losses and gains, and manage ecosystems as carbon sinks and  nutrient stores. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" width=\"1024\" height=\"693\" src=\"\/wp-content\/uploads\/image-272-1024x693.png\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-5755\" srcset=\"\/wp-content\/uploads\/image-272-1024x693.png 1024w, \/wp-content\/uploads\/image-272-300x203.png 300w, \/wp-content\/uploads\/image-272-768x520.png 768w, \/wp-content\/uploads\/image-272-190x130.png 190w, \/wp-content\/uploads\/image-272.png 1333w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<h3>Reference: <\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"justify\">Angst, \u0160., G.
