The organic matter of living plants is the precursor material of the organic matter stored in
terrestrial soil ecosystems. Although a great deal of knowledge exists on the carbon turnover …

Microplastics (MPs) can alter microbial communities and carbon (C) cycling in agricultural
soils. However, the mechanism by which MPs affect the decomposition of microbe-driven …

Carbon and nutrient inputs are required to stimulate the formation and mineralization of soil
organic carbon (SOC) through processes related to microbial growth and priming effects …

Rhizodeposition plays a crucial role in the soil carbon (C) cycle, yet a comprehensive
understanding of global research trends and directions related to rhizodeposition remains …

Application of biochar to soil may stabilize soil organic carbon (SOC), concomitantly
increasing nutrient retention. However, the interactive effect of biochar and nutrients on SOC …

Microplastics (MPs) are a widespread pollutant in terrestrial ecosystems. However,
knowledge on how MPs impact soil organic matter (SOM) decomposition and the priming …

No fertilized soils (unfertilized and fallow treatments) and soils subjected to 28-year
fertilization regimes, including mineral fertilization (PK and NPK) and manure amendments …

Previous studies on upland soils showed that 13C natural abundance can successfully
reveal C stabilization pathways between aggregates and soil organic matter (SOM) density …

Biochar has the potential to enhance microbial-mediated phosphorus (P) cycling in soils, but
the underlying mechanisms remain largely unknown. We hypothesized that biochar …

Iron-bound organic carbon (Fe-OC) complexes are important for stabilizing soil organic
carbon (SOC) against biodegradation. However, it is unclear how the stabilization of OC and …
