Exact excerpt

In contrast to extracellular microbial residues, cellular residues (as MNC) contributed roughly 10 times more to SOC than estimated EPS-C across the large-scale transect. Incomplete extraction of EPS partly explains the difference between MNC and EPS-C. ... More research is needed to elucidate with confidence whether EPS-C or MNC contributes more to SOC formation and stabilization.
