Grasslands store approximately one third of the global terrestrial carbon stocks and can act
as an important soil carbon sink. Recent studies show that plant diversity increases soil …

Soil enzymes are central to ecosystem processes because they mediate numerous
reactions that are essential in biogeochemical cycles. However, how soil enzyme activities …

Soils store more carbon than other terrestrial ecosystems,. How soil organic carbon (SOC)
forms and persists remains uncertain,, which makes it challenging to understand how it will …

Global warming may alter microbially mediated ecosystem functions through reshaping of
microbial diversity and modified microbial interactions. Here, we examined the effects of 5 …

Microbes play an important role in aquatic carbon cycling but we have a limited
understanding of their functional responses to changes in temperature across large …

Global climate warming may induce a positive feedback through increasing soil carbon (C)
release to the atmosphere. Although warming can affect both C input to and output from soil …

Despite the valid assumption that soil microorganisms play pivotal roles in regulating soil
organic matter (SOM) decomposition, there is limited evidence on whether there is a direct …

Increased human‐derived nitrogen (N) deposition to terrestrial ecosystems has resulted in
widespread phosphorus (P) limitation of net primary productivity. However, it remains …

Soil priming is a microbial‐driven process, which determines key soil–climate feedbacks in
response to fresh carbon inputs. Despite its importance, the microbial traits behind this …

Conservation tillage practices may stimulate soil organic carbon (SOC) storage in croplands
by reducing soil disturbance and increasing inputs of crop residue. Although the effect of …
