Filamentous fungi are critical to the decomposition of terrestrial organic matter and,
consequently, in the global carbon cycle. In particular, their contribution to degradation of …

The fungi-to-bacteria ratio in soil ecological concepts and its application to explain the
effects of land use changes have gained increasing attention over the past decade. Four …

It is increasingly recognized that soil microbes have the ability to decompose old recalcitrant
soil organic matter (SOM) by using fresh carbon as a source of energy, a phenomena called …

The world's soils store more carbon than is present in biomass and in the atmosphere. Little
is known, however, about the factors controlling the stability of soil organic carbon stocks …

Black carbon (BC) is an important fraction of many soils worldwide and plays an important
role in global C biogeochemistry. However, few studies have examined how it influences the …

Wildfire‐produced charcoal is a common component of soils, affecting a range of important
abiotic and biotic soil processes. Our ability to predict the effects of charcoal addition to soil …

This study investigates how carbon sources of soil microbial communities vary with soil
depth. Microbial phospholipid fatty acids (PLFA) were extracted from 0–20, 20–40 and 40 …

The turnover of organic matter in soil depends on the activity of microbial decomposers.
However, little is known about how modifications of the diversity of soil microbial …

凋落物分解在陆地生态系统养分循环与能量流动中具有重要作用, 是碳, 氮及其他重要矿质养分
在生态系统生命组分间循环与平衡的核心生态过程. 自然生态系统中, 植物群落大多具有较高的 …

Understanding the relationship between soil biodiversity and ecosystem functioning is
critical to predicting and monitoring the effects of ecosystem changes on important soil …
