Microbial residual carbon (MRC) plays an important role in maintaining soil carbon stability
and is therefore a focus of soil organic carbon (SOC) estimation. However, the global pattern …

Abstract The South China Karst (SCK), the world's largest contiguous karst region, has
undergone severe ecological degradation associated with the interaction of fragile natural …

The soil microbial community is a key indicator to evaluate the effectiveness of vegetation
restoration in degraded ecosystems. However, few studies have simultaneously compared …

Nevertheless, how microbial residue contribution to bulk SOC sequestration changes …

Soil bacteria are closely related to soil environmental factors, and their community structure
is an important indicator of ecosystem health and sustainability. A large number of artificial …

Soil micro-food webs play an important role in ecosystem functions through energy flow;
they are strongly influenced by land use types. Previous studies have typically utilized the …

For urban planning and infrastructural projects, considerable attention has been paid to the
