Phenotypic plasticity may help species to persist in the face of rapid change, yet we lack a
management-friendly framework for incorporating plasticity into conservation practice. Here …

Droughts are becoming more frequent and intense with climate change. As plants and
microbes respond to drought, there may be consequences for the vast stocks of organic …

Microbial necromass is an important source and component of soil organic matter (SOM),
especially within the most stable pools. Global change factors such as anthropogenic …

Soil microbial communities play a pivotal role in regulating ecosystem functioning. But they
are increasingly being shaped by human-induced environmental change, including intense …

Soil microbes play key roles that support forest ecosystem functioning, while their community
characteristics are strongly determined by tree species identity. However, the majority …

The frequency and intensity of droughts worldwide are challenging the conservation of soil
organic carbon (SOC) pool. Microbial necromass is a key component of SOC, but how it …

Plant–plant interactions are dynamic and complicated processes that strongly influence soil
nutrient cycling in ecosystems. Climate warming-induced drought stress and the duration of …

Fungi and bacteria differ in their sensitivity to soil moisture, but their activity and contributions
to soil carbon (C) cycling under different soil moisture conditions remain unclear. We …

Introduction Soil microbial communities are key to functional processes in terrestrial
ecosystems, and they serve as an important indicator of grasslands status. However, the …

Thermal desorption technology has been widely used for the remediation of organic
contaminated soil, but the heating process may alter the soil properties and its safety …
