Abstract The Qinghai–Tibetan Plateau (QTP) has experienced atmospheric warming,
cryosphere thaw and intensified human activities since the 1970s. These changes have had …

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 …

The recent and widespread use of engineered nanomaterials in many industrial sectors is a
rising health issue for living organisms and ecosystems, yet there is limited knowledge on …

Cover crops may improve soil health and increase soil carbon sequestration, thus
contributing to both the adaptation to and mitigation of climate change. Despite these …

Soil warming can directly affect the microbial community, or indirectly affect the microbial
community by affecting soil moisture, nutrient availability, vegetation growth, etc. However …

The alpine meadow ecosystem on the Qinghai–Tibetan Plateau (QTP) is very sensitive to
warming and plays a key role in regulating global carbon (C) cycling. However, how …

Heavy metals (HMs) profoundly impact soil carbon storage potential primarily through soil
carbon structure. The association between HM content and soil carbon structure in …

Soils in alpine ecosystems store a large amount of carbon. However, the responses of soil
organic carbon (SOC) to long-term warming and the microbial mechanisms underlying SOC …

The prediction of future carbon (C) dynamics of grassland ecosystems requires knowledge
of how warming and management practices (eg, fertilization, grazing, and mowing) interact …

Land use change (LUC) significantly affects climatic, edaphic conditions and soil microbial
attributes in terrestrial ecosystems. However, the overall impacts of LUC type on soil …
