Soil aggregates as biogeochemical reactors: Not a way forward in the research on soil‐atmosphere exchange of greenhouse gases

Over the last two decades, the fact that soils are significant sources of greenhouse gases (GHG), e.g., carbon dioxide (CO2), methane (CH4), nitrous oxide (N2O), and water vapor, has received considerable attention from the scientific community. Many laboratory and field experiments have been carried out to investigate the release of GHG by soils, and a wide range of computer modeling approaches have been explored to encapsulate what is known about the process, as well as to improve its prediction at various spatial and temporal scales
