Deep soil organic matter—a key but poorly understood component of terrestrial C cycle
C Rumpel, I Kögel-Knabner - Plant and soil, 2011 - Springer
Despite their low carbon (C) content, most subsoil horizons contribute to more than half of
the total soil C stocks, and therefore need to be considered in the global C cycle. Until …

Differences in fungal and bacterial physiology alter soil carbon and nitrogen cycling: insights from meta‐analysis and theoretical models
Since fungi and bacteria are the dominant decomposers in soil, their distinct physiologies
are likely to differentially influence rates of ecosystem carbon (C) and nitrogen (N) cycling …
