Rice paddies supply half the global population with staple food, but also account for~ 48% of
greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions from croplands. In this Review, we outline the …

The productivity of ecosystems and their capacity to support life depends on access to
reactive nitrogen (N). Over the past century, humans have more than doubled the global …

Unprecedented nitrogen (N) inputs into terrestrial ecosystems have profoundly altered soil N
cycling. Ammonia oxidizers and denitrifiers are the main producers of nitrous oxide (N2O) …

Microplastics can profoundly alter nitrogen cycling. However, it remains poorly understood
how microplastics impact soil nitrogen processes and generate N 2 O. A meta-analysis was …

Carbon-nitrogen coupling is a fundamental principle in ecosystem ecology. However, how
the coupling responds to global change has not yet been examined. Through a …

Functional genes involved in nitrogen (N) cycling regulate soil nitrification, denitrification and
N 2 O emissions. However, the general patterns and variability of N functional genes in …

Greenhouse gas emissions from wetlands are significantly promoted by global nitrogen
input for changing the rate of soil carbon and nitrogen cycling, and are substantially affected …

Agroforestry is an agricultural diversification practice that purposefully grows trees together
with crops and/or animals. Nitrogen (N) plays a pivotal role in the sustainability and …

The feedback of greenhouse gas emissions to climate change is vital for understanding and
predicting the impact of global warming on ecosystem functions. However, the legacy effect …

Abstract Changes in precipitation regimes can strongly affect soil nitrogen (N) cycling in
terrestrial ecosystems. However, whether altered precipitation regimes may differentially …
