Predicting and mitigating changes in soil carbon (C) stocks under global change requires a
coherent understanding of the factors regulating soil organic matter (SOM) formation and …

Until recently, the processes of litter decomposition and soil organic matter formation in
forests have been studied in isolation, which has hindered the development of a …

Grazing represents the most extensive use of land worldwide. Yet its impacts on ecosystem
services remain uncertain because pervasive interactions between grazing pressure …

Soil carbon transformation and sequestration have received significant interest in recent
years due to a growing need for quantitating its role in mitigating climate change. Even …

Studies of the decomposition, transformation and stabilization of soil organic matter (SOM)
have dramatically increased in recent years owing to growing interest in studying the global …

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 …

Species‐rich plant communities have been shown to be more productive and to exhibit
increased long‐term soil organic carbon (SOC) storage. Soil microorganisms are central to …

The impact of increasing amounts of labile C input on priming effects (PE) on soil organic
matter (SOM) mineralization remains unclear, particularly under anoxic conditions and …

Carbon and nutrient inputs are required to stimulate the formation and mineralization of soil
organic carbon (SOC) through processes related to microbial growth and priming effects …

The organic matter of living plants is the precursor material of the organic matter stored in
terrestrial soil ecosystems. Although a great deal of knowledge exists on the carbon turnover …
