Demand of all living organisms on the same nutrients forms the basis for interspecific
competition between plants and microorganisms in soils. This competition is especially …

Abstract With 450,000 km 2 Kobresia (syn. Carex) pygmaea dominated pastures in the
eastern Tibetan highlands are the world's largest pastoral alpine ecosystem forming a …

Permafrost, characterized by its frozen soil, serves as a unique habitat for diverse
microorganisms. Understanding these microbial communities is crucial for predicting the …

Crop residue quality and quantity have contrasting effects on soil organic matter (SOM)
decomposition, but the mechanisms explaining such priming effect (PE) are still elusive. To …

The status of plant and microbial nutrient limitation have profound impacts on ecosystem
carbon cycle in permafrost areas, which store large amounts of carbon and experience …

Abstract Knowledge of belowground C input by rice plants and its fate is essential for
managing C cycling and sequestration in paddy soils. Previous reviews have summarized C …

Phosphorus (P) is essential for productivity of alpine grassland ecosystems, which are
sensitive to global warming. We tested the hypotheses that (1) mobilized 'calcium‐bound …

The recently developed 3-source-partitioning approach: addition of 14 C labeled organics to
soil after C3–C4 vegetation changes, was used to distinguish C sources in three …

Background Mangrove ecosystems are considered as hot spots of biogeochemical cycling,
yet the diversity, function and coupling mechanism of microbially driven biogeochemical …

Nitrogen fertilization may affect the decomposition of soil organic matter (SOM) and plant
residues in soil, but this effect is still very uncertain and depends on living plants. We …
