Soil organisms drive major ecosystem functions by mineralising carbon and releasing
nutrients during decomposition processes, which supports plant growth, aboveground …

Remote sensing has transformed the monitoring of life on Earth by revealing spatial and
temporal dimensions of biological diversity through structural, compositional and functional …

Tropical forests disappear rapidly because of deforestation, yet they have the potential to
regrow naturally on abandoned lands. We analyze how 12 forest attributes recover during …

Relationships between biodiversity and multiple ecosystem functions (that is, ecosystem
multifunctionality) are context-dependent. Both plant and soil microbial diversity have been …

Healthy soils are critical to the health of ecosystems, economies, and human populations.
Thus, it is widely acknowledged that soil health is important to quantify, both for assessment …

Microbial interactions in soil are hidden, as they occur stealthily in a 'dark box'. This greatly
limits our understanding of microbial functions. Here, soil microorganisms were classified …

Clarifying the response of soil microbial communities and their potential functions during
succession is of great significance for understanding the biogeochemical processes and the …

BACKGROUND Soil is the largest repository of organic matter on land, storing~ 1500 Gt
carbon, which is at least as much as the vegetation (~ 560 Gt) and atmosphere (~ 750 Gt) …

《 京都议定书》 已于2005 年生效, 我国面临着CO2 减排的巨大压力. 分析了我国农业土壤有机碳
库及其演变研究的现状, 认为当前我国农业在耕地资源严重短缺, 耕地地力趋于下降的背景下 …

BACKGROUND All vascular plants associate with fungi and bacteria—the microbiome. Root
associations with mycorrhizal fungi benefit most plants by enhancing their nutrient access …
