Winter cover crops have been shown to promote the accumulation of microbial biomass
carbon and nitrogen, enhance nutrient cycling, reduce erosion, improve ecosystem stability …

The capacity of soils to store organic carbon (SOC) is vital for agricultural productivity. Soil
microorganisms exert a critical role in carbon (C) flow and potentially influence C balance …

The microbial quotient of soil, defined as the proportion of soil elements present in soil
microorganisms, reflects the capacity of microbial communities to regulate processes like …

Understanding the impacts of tillage on soil microflora, especially functional microbes
related to nitrogen conversion, is essential for ensuring the sustainable production …

Abstract Knowledge about the elevational patterns of soil microbial biomass and
communities can facilitate accurate prediction of the responses of soil biogeochemical …

Changes in the microenvironment induced by forest gaps may affect litter decomposition, yet
it is unclear how the gap effects respond to altitudinal and seasonal differences. Here, a four …

Background Soil fauna is an important driver of carbon (C) and nitrogen (N) release from
decomposing litter in forest ecosystems. However, its role in C and N cycling concerning …

Urban soil organic carbon (SOC) plays an important role in urban ecosystem services.
Rapid urbanization and anthropogenic disturbances have created complex and dynamic …
