Fine root decomposition is a physio-biochemical activity that is critical to the global carbon
cycle (C) in forest ecosystems. It is crucial to investigate the mechanisms and factors that …

This study aimed to examine the effects of spatial and temporal variability in edaphic, and
climatic attributeson soil net nitrogen mineralization rate, and to understand the pattern of …

Microbial communities are important drivers of plant litter decomposition; however, the
mechanisms of microbial co-occurrence networks and their network interaction dynamics in …

Abstract Background and Aims The response of subarctic grassland's below-ground to soil
warming is key to understanding this ecosystem's adaptation to future climate. Functionally …

Reclamation of post mining soils by planting trees is of great research interest due to its
potential to stabilize mine soils and sequester atmospheric carbon (C). However there are …

Plant litter decomposition plays a crucial role in the flow of nutrients and energy in
ecosystems. However, the mechanism of bacterial communities regulating litter …

Purpose In agroforestry systems, the root distributions and properties of the annual and
perennial vegetation are poorly known, although they are recognized for fostering soil …

Litter quality determines the decomposability of litter and the proportion of recalcitrant
residues, which in turn can affect the accumulation of soil organic carbon (SOC). However …

Rice (Oryza sativa L.) residues (root and straw) are unique substrates for microbes in paddy
soils. Microbial respiration (RH) of paddy soils is likely to be affected by substrate quality …

Although herbaceous plant layer may contribute significantly to plant diversity and nutrient
turnover, its effects on the soil environment in forest ecosystems remain largely unexplored …
