An expectation in soil ecology is that a microbial communities' fungal: bacterial dominance
indicates both its response to environmental change and its impact on ecosystem function …

Nitrogen isotopic studies have the potential to shed light on the structure of ancient
ecosystems, agropastoral regimes, and human-environment interactions. Until relatively …

Phosphorus (P) acquisition is key for plant growth. Arbuscular mycorrhizal fungi (AMF) help
plants acquire P from soil. Understanding which factors drive AMF-supported nutrient uptake …

Stover mulching over no-till soil is regarded as a promising practice to increase soil organic
carbon (SOC) in croplands against climate change. Microbial necromass is a significant …

To achieve long‐term increases in soil organic carbon (SOC) storage, it is essential to
understand the effects of carbon management strategies on SOC formation pathways …

Microbial decomposers are responsible for the breakdown of organic matter (OM) and thus
regulate soil carbon (C) stocks. During the decomposition of OM, microorganisms can use …

Microorganisms play a key role in nutrient cycling in agriculture and can contribute to
improve soil quality and enhance crop production. Thus, there is a need to identify the most …

The current review investigates the hypothesis that dormant soil microorganisms are
relevant for microbial processes and community changes. Dormant soil microorganisms are …

The interrelations between the microbial biomass, total N, organic P, and organic S in the
accumulation of soil organic C (SOC) and the contribution of fungal and bacterial residues to …

The aim of global carbon (C) neutrality brings soils and their potential for C storage into the
spotlight. Improved agricultural management techniques such as minimum or no-tillage are …
