Ectomycorrhizal (EcM) fungi play a crucial role in the mineral nitrogen (N) nutrition of their
host trees. While it has been proposed that several EcM species also mobilize organic N …

Dissolved organic matter (DOM) plays a central role in soil carbon (C) dynamics, serving as
both a substrate for microbial decomposers and a source of material stabilised via physical …

Boreal forested peatlands are globally significant carbon (C) pools where soil water-table
level largely controls decomposition rate. Here we aimed to investigate the contrarian …

Subsoil contains a significant amount of soil organic carbon (SOC) in rice paddies, playing a
crucial role in global carbon (C) cycling. However, the mechanisms driving SOC dynamics in …

Increased tree mortality related to water limitation is documented for various species at
different sites globally. Nevertheless, our understanding of tree mortality effects on soil …

Arbuscular mycorrhizal fungi (AMF) play a key role in regulating the carbon cycle in
terrestrial ecosystems. However, there is little information on how AMF inoculation affects the …

This chapter rigorously examines soil toxic metal/metalloid contamination and its profound
implications on crop resilience, focusing on abiotic stress conditions. It begins by elucidating …

Diesel oil contaminated soils were collected and analyzed for various Physico-chemical
properties that included moisture content, total carbon, total nitrogen and phosphorus using …

Forests cover about one-third of the Earth's land surface, store a significant amount of
carbon and provide numerous ecosystem services. In the dry inner-alpine valleys of …
