Agricultural soils receive large amounts of anthropogenic nitrogen (N), which directly and
indirectly affect soil organic matter (SOM) stocks and CO 2 fluxes. However, our current …

Soil microorganisms affect both the formation and decomposition of soil organic carbon
(SOC). We investigated how nitrogen (N, 25 vs. 100 kg N ha− 1) and phosphorus (P, 10 vs …

A greenhouse rhizobox experiment was carried out to investigate the fate and turnover of
13C‐and 15N‐labeled rhizodeposits within a rhizosphere gradient from 0–8 mm distance to …

Fluxes of rhizodeposit carbon (C) to soil stimulate microbial activity affecting soil organic
matter (SOM) decomposition and, in turn, nutrient fluxes in soil. In agricultural soils, residues …

Elevated CO2 may increase nutrient availability in the rhizosphere by stimulating N release
from recalcitrant soil organic matter (SOM) pools through enhanced rhizodeposition. We …

Agricultural soils have experienced large anthropogenic nitrogen (N) inputs in recent
decades. Our mechanistic understanding of the effects of added N on the carbon (C) cycle in …

The beneficial effect of crop residue amendment on soil organic carbon (SOC) stock and
stability depends on the functional response of soil microbial communities. Here we …

Background and aims Soil autotrophic microorganisms and plant primary production play
crucial roles in soil carbon (C) cycling. However, the information remains limited to whether …

The input of organic C strongly alters the magnitude and direction of the microbial
mineralization of soil organic matter (SOM), a phenomenon known as the “priming …

Soil organic matter (SOM) is the dominant store of nutrients required for plant growth, but the
availability of these nutrients is dependent on transformations mediated by the microbial …
