The methodical developments in the fields of molecular biology and analytical chemistry
significantly increased the level of detail that we achieve when exploring soils and their …

Exploring the limitations of soil microbial nutrient metabolism would help to understand the
adaptability and response mechanisms of soil microbes in semi-arid ecosystems. Soil …

It remains unclear how warming will affect resource flows during soil organic matter (SOM)
decomposition, in part due to uncertainty in how exoenzymes produced by microbes and …

The effects of restoration on plant communities and soil nutrients have been extensively
studied but knowledge of the metabolic requirements of microbial communities is limited …

Substrate geochemistry is an important factor influencing early microbial development after
glacial retreat on nutrient-poor geological substrates in the High Arctic. It is often difficult to …

Chronic nitrogen (N) deposition from anthropogenic emissions alter N cycling of forests in
Europe and in other impacted areas. It disrupts plant/microbe interactions in originally N …

Peatlands are long-term sinks of atmospheric carbon (C) largely due to water-saturated soil
conditions, decay-resistant plant litter, and the presence of biochemical compounds such as …

Soil nutrient cycling can be best studied by supplementing the soil with N and P fertilizers.
Soil enzyme kinetic parameters (Vmax and Km) can be used to reflect the maximum reaction …

The response of microbial communities to the predicted rising temperatures in alpine
regions might be an important part of the ability of these ecosystems to deal with climate …

Nitrogen leaching owing to elevated acid deposition remains the main ecosystem threat
worldwide. We aimed to contribute to the understanding of the highly variable nitrate losses …
