Plant-derived organic matter inputs are thought to be a key driver of soil bacterial community
composition and associated soil processes. We sought to investigate the role of acid …

Intensive crop production systems worldwide, particularly in China, rely heavily on nitrogen
(N) fertilization, but left more than 50% of fertilizer N in the environment. Nitrogen (over) …

Microbial community plays critical roles in driving soil carbon (C) cycling in terrestrial
ecosystems. However, we lack empirical evidence to demonstrate the role of microbial …

The ongoing climate change is predicted to induce more weather extremes such as frequent
drought and high‐intensity precipitation events, causing more severe drying‐rewetting …

Soil microorganisms act as gatekeepers for soil–atmosphere carbon exchange by balancing
the accumulation and release of soil organic matter. However, poor understanding of the …

In most terrestrial ecosystems, the amount of substrate entering the soil from plant litter
production is only sufficient to meet the maintenance requirements of soil microorganisms …

Although nitrogen (N) enrichment enhances both soil N availability and soil acidification, it is
difficult to isolate their effects on microbial taxa that drive the soil carbon (C) dynamics under …

Abstract Surface (0–15 cm) soil samples were collected from a semi-arid, sandy grassland in
Keerqin Sandy Lands, Northeast China to study changes in soil microbial and chemical …

Wetland ecosystems are important reservoirs of biodiversity and significantly contribute to
emissions of the greenhouse gases CO2, N2O, and CH4. High anthropogenic nitrogen (N) …

Liming is a common agricultural practice to improve crop yields by raising soil pH. Liming
also modulates the production and consumption of greenhouse gases (GHGs) in soils, but …
