Evidence and attribution of the enhanced land carbon sink
Climate change has been partially mitigated by an increasing net land carbon sink in the
terrestrial biosphere; understanding the processes that drive this sink is thus essential for …

[HTML][HTML] The deep soil organic carbon response to global change
Over 70% of soil organic carbon (SOC) is stored at a depth greater than 20 cm belowground.
A portion of this deep SOC actively cycles on annual to decadal timescales and is sensitive …

Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC). Global carbon and other biogeochemical cycles and feedbacks
It is unequivocal that the increases in atmospheric carbon dioxide (CO2), methane (CH4)
and nitrous oxide (N2O) since the pre-industrial period are caused by human activities. The …

Changes in plant inputs alter soil carbon and microbial communities in forest ecosystems
Global changes can alter plant inputs from both above‐and belowground, which, thus, may
differently affect soil carbon and microbial communities. However, the general patterns of …

Effects of coastal wetland reclamation on soil organic carbon, total nitrogen, and total phosphorus in China: a meta‐analysis
The reclamation of coastal wetlands for agriculture has expanded considerably over the last
40 years in China. Wetland reclamation could substantially alter soil properties, but so far, a …

The age distribution of global soil carbon inferred from radiocarbon measurements
Soils contain more carbon than the atmosphere and vegetation combined. An increased
flow of carbon from the atmosphere into soil pools could help mitigate anthropogenic …

Oxygen priming induced by elevated CO2 reduces carbon accumulation and methane emissions in coastal wetlands
Warming temperatures and elevated CO2 are inextricably linked global change
phenomena, but they are rarely manipulated together in field experiments. As a result …

A keystone microbial enzyme for nitrogen control of soil carbon storage
Agricultural and industrial activities have increased atmospheric nitrogen (N) deposition to
ecosystems worldwide. N deposition can stimulate plant growth and soil carbon (C) input …

Soil carbon loss with warming: New evidence from carbon‐degrading enzymes
Climate warming affects soil carbon (C) dynamics, with possible serious consequences for
soil C stocks and atmospheric CO2 concentrations. However, the mechanisms underlying …

Multiple models and experiments underscore large uncertainty in soil carbon dynamics
Soils contain more carbon than plants or the atmosphere, and sensitivities of soil organic
carbon (SOC) stocks to changing climate and plant productivity are a major uncertainty in …
