Both atmospheric nitrogen (N) deposition and biochar application can markedly impact soil
heterotrophic respiration (RH), an important component of the global carbon cycle. However …

Abstract The Tibet Plateau, with its extensive carbon pools, plays a pivotal role in the global
carbon budget. Nevertheless, the driving factors of the carbon dioxide budget remain …

Soils are considered as a major reservoir for terrestrial carbon and it can act as a source or
sink depending upon the land management activities. In semi-arid areas, the natural …

Soil carbon fixation has the potential to offset anthropogenic carbon emissions and mitigate
climate change. However, the carbon fixation capacity still remains uncertain at the global …

Wetlands serve a dual function as carbon dioxide (CO 2) sinks and methane (CH 4) sources.
Emissions of CH 4 from wetlands have long been considered to potentially offset net cooling …

As the most diverse metazoan taxa, soil nematodes serve a diversity of functions in soil food
webs and thus can regulate microbial community composition and affect organic matter …

Active C, as a measure of the level of chemical oxidation of organic matter, reflects the
carbon available to microorganisms. Soil respiration, as a direct way to estimate edaphic …

Background and AimsNumerous driving variables have been employed to model and
predict changes in different soil respiration components. However, large uncertainty exists in …

Arid and semiarid ecosystems are highly vulnerable to effects of global change (Hueso-
González et al., 2018; Maestre et al., 2012; Puigdefábregas, 1998; Reynolds et al., 2007) …
