The physical and chemical changes that accompany permafrost thaw directly influence the
microbial communities that mediate the decomposition of formerly frozen organic matter …

Global changes can alter plant inputs from both above‐and belowground, which, thus, may
differently affect soil carbon and microbial communities. However, the general patterns of …

Straw and nutrients retained in soil are crucial for priming effect (PE) and consequently for
soil organic matter (SOM) turnover. However, the mechanisms by which carbon (C), nitrogen …

Abstract Changes in the quality and quantity of litter and root inputs due to climate change
and human activities can influence below-ground biogeochemical processes in forest …

The replacement of native birch with Norway spruce has been initiated in Norway to
increase long‐term carbon storage in forests. However, there is limited knowledge on the …

Soil nitrogen (N) pools and fluxes are strongly influenced by litter inputs in natural
ecosystems. However, general responses of soil N pools and fluxes to litter inputs from both …

Plant richness strongly affects ecosystem functions, especially ecosystem carbon and
nutrients stocks. However, the mechanisms underlying positive richness–stock relationships …

Global change has the potential to alter soil carbon (C) inputs from above-and below-ground
sources, with subsequent influences on soil microbial communities and ecological functions …

Introduction Phytoremediation is an effective strategy for saline land restoration. In the
Western Songnen Plain, northeast China, soil fungal community recovery for saline …

Aboveground plant litter and roots are primary sources of soil organic carbon (SOC),
profoundly affecting soil respiration and SOC dynamics. With global change, the quantities …
