Practices that build soil organic matter (reduced tillage and regular additions of organic material) will raise the propor- tion of active organic matter long before increases in total organic matter can be measured. As soil organic matter levels rise, soil organisms play a role in its con- version to humus—a relatively stable form of carbon sequestered in soils for decades or even centuries.
