Food sustainability transitions refer to transformation processes necessary to move towards
sustainable food systems. Digitization is one of the most important ongoing transformation …

Agriculture is one of the economic sectors that affect climate change contributing to
greenhouse gas emissions directly and indirectly. There is a trend of agricultural …

Both nitrogen deposition (ND) and microplastics (MPs) pose global change challenges. The
effects of MPs co-existing with ND on ecosystem functions are still largely unknown. Herein …

Despite evidence from experimental grasslands that plant diversity increases biomass
production and soil organic carbon (SOC) storage, it remains unclear whether this is true in …

Nitrogen (N) fertilization affects the rate of soil organic carbon (SOC) decomposition by
regulating extracellular enzyme activities (EEA). Extracellular enzymes have not been …

The crucial biogeochemical processes such as carbon and nutrient cycling are increasingly
altered at the ecosystem scale by global environmental changes. Although soil extracellular …

China is experiencing a high level of atmospheric nitrogen (N) deposition, which greatly
affects the soil carbon (C) dynamics in terrestrial ecosystems. Soil aggregation contributes to …

Leaf litter and deadwood have important roles in the forest ecosystems, providing shelter for
several organisms, preventing erosion and microclimate fluctuations. Their decomposition is …

Background Knowledge of biological and climatic controls in terrestrial nitrogen (N) cycling
within and across ecosystems is central to understanding global patterns of key ecosystem …

Microbial elements use efficiencies are the important parameters in regulating soil carbon
(C) and nitrogen (N) mineralization processes. Microbial C use efficiency (CUE) describes …
