There is considerable interest in understanding the biological mechanisms that regulate
carbon exchanges between the land and atmosphere, and how these exchanges respond to …

A better understanding of soil microbial ecology is critical to gaining an understanding of
terrestrial carbon (C) cycle–climate change feedbacks. However, current knowledge limits …

Understanding the mechanisms of biospheric feedbacks to climate change is critical to
project future climate warming,,. Although microorganisms catalyse most biosphere …

Microbial growth and carbon use efficiency (CUE) are central to the global carbon cycle, as
microbial remains form soil organic matter. We investigated how future global changes may …

Communities of soil microorganisms (soil microbiomes) play a major role in biogeochemical
cycles and support of plant growth. Here we focus primarily on the roles that the soil …

Soils represent the largest carbon (C) pool in terrestrial ecosystems. The preservation and
increase of soil C play a significant role in the fight against climate change, and can deliver …

Decomposition of organic material by soil microbes generates an annual global release of
50–75 Pg carbon to the atmosphere,∼ 7.5–9 times that of anthropogenic emissions …

Soil microorganisms, by actively participating in the decomposition and transformation of
organic matter through diverse metabolic pathways, play a pivotal role in carbon cycling …

The soil microbiome governs biogeochemical cycling of macronutrients, micronutrients and
other elements vital for the growth of plants and animal life. Understanding and predicting …

Microorganisms are critical in terrestrial carbon cycling because their growth, activity and
interactions with the environment largely control the fate of recent plant carbon inputs as well …
