Soil organic carbon dynamics jointly controlled by climate, carbon inputs, soil properties and soil carbon fractions
Soil organic carbon (SOC) dynamics are regulated by the complex interplay of climatic,
edaphic and biotic conditions. However, the interrelation of SOC and these drivers and their …

Soil parent material—A major driver of plant nutrient limitations in terrestrial ecosystems
Because the capability of terrestrial ecosystems to fix carbon is constrained by nutrient
availability, understanding how nutrients limit plant growth is a key contemporary question …

Fungal interactions reduce carbon use efficiency
The efficiency by which fungi decompose organic matter contributes to the amount of carbon
that is retained in biomass vs. lost to the atmosphere as respiration. This carbon use …

Linking microbial community composition to C loss rates during wood decomposition
Although decaying wood plays an important role in global carbon (C) cycling, how changes
in microbial community are related to wood C quality and then affect wood organic C loss …
