The ecology of forest soils is an important field of research due to the role of forests as
carbon sinks. Consequently, a significant amount of information has been accumulated …

Peatlands are major carbon sinks globally, but it is still unclear what drives their shift from
functioning as carbon sink to a source. Fungi rely on soil carbon inputs and play an active …

Northern peatlands form a major soil carbon (C) stock. With climate change, peatland C
mineralization is expected to increase, which in turn would accelerate climate change. A …

Long-term effects of organic and conventional farming systems in parallel on the microbiota
of boreal arable soil from forage and cereal crop fields were investigated. Microbial activity …

Climate change affects peatlands directly through increased air temperatures and indirectly
through changes in water‐table level (WL). The interactions of these two still remain poorly …

Short-term agronomic and environmental benefits are fundamental factors in encouraging
farmers to use biochar on a broad scale. The short-term impacts of forest residue biochar …

Desert wetlands are evolving into deserts by groundwater table (GWT) drawdown. However,
the changes in microbial communities and functions during the GWT drawdown are unclear …

Peatlands are one of the major sources of the powerful greenhouse gas methane (CH 4).
Our aim was to detect responses of methanogenic archaeal and methane-oxidizing bacterial …

Annually, half of all plant-derived carbon is added to soil where it is microbially respired to
CO2. However, understanding of the microbiology of this process is limited because most …

Questions Peatland ecosystems are a globally important carbon storage that is predicted to
turn into a carbon source due to water level drawdown (WLD) associated with climate …
