Plant-derived carbon (C) transfer to soil is one of the important factors controlling the size
and structure of the belowground microbial community. The present study quantifies this …

The origin and quantity of plant inputs to soil are primary factors controlling the size and
structure of the soil microbial community. The present study aimed to elucidate and quantify …

Investigating the effects of residue chemical composition on soil labile organic carbon (LOC)
will improve our understanding of soil carbon sequestration. The effects of maize residue …

The enhancement of soil organic carbon (SOC) is important for sustainable agriculture,
while changes in SOC depend on the balance between carbon (C) input and export. To …

The fate and turnover of microbial carbon (C) in an arable soil following crop residue
addition likely depends on the quality of both native soil organic matter (SOM) and residues …

Abstract Background and Aims Input of organic matter into soil creates microbial hotspots.
Due to the low organic matter content in subsoil, microbial hotspots can improve nutrient …

We evaluated how microbial residues and their contributions to soil carbon (C) stocks
changed with long-term (50 years) conversion of native grassland to cropland in the profiles …

Understanding the dynamics of soil C is key to managing soil organic matter to enhance soil
quality and ecosystem functioning, and reduce trace gas emissions from soils. Our objective …

Plant‐and microbially derived carbon (C) are the two major sources of soil organic matter
(SOM), and their ratio impacts SOM composition, accumulation, stability, and turnover. The …

Microbial transformation of crop residue is the key process of soil organic matter (SOM)
formation and mineralization, which determines soil fertility and affects global climate …
