Numerous field studies have found changes in soil respiration and microbial abundance
under experimental warming. Yet, it is uncertain whether the magnitude of these responses …

We review the evidence of how organisms and populations are currently responding to
climate change through phenotypic plasticity, genotypic evolution, changes in distribution …

Global climate warming may induce a positive feedback through increasing soil carbon (C)
release to the atmosphere. Although warming can affect both C input to and output from soil …

Global warming may have profound effects on terrestrial ecosystems. However, a
comprehensive evaluation of the effects of warming on ecosystem nitrogen (N) pools and …

Higher ecosystem nitrogen (N) inputs resulting from human activities often suppress soil
microbial biomass and respiration, thereby altering biogeochemical cycling. Soil …

Soil microbes are major drivers of soil carbon cycling, yet we lack an understanding of how
climate warming will affect microbial communities. Three ongoing field studies at the …

Researchers agree that climate change factors such as rising atmospheric [CO2] and
warming will likely interact to modify ecosystem properties and processes. However, the …

The global environment is constantly changing and our planet is getting warmer at an
unprecedented rate. The study of the carbon cycle, and soil respiration, is a very active area …

Climate change can profoundly impact carbon (C) cycling of terrestrial ecosystems. A field
experiment was conducted to examine responses of total soil and microbial respiration, and …

Afforestation may alter soil microbial community structure and function, and further affect soil
carbon (C) and nitrogen (N) dynamics. Here we investigated soil microbial carbon and …
