Anthropogenic warming is expected to accelerate global soil organic carbon (SOC) losses
via microbial decomposition, yet, there is still no consensus on the loss magnitude. In this …

Soil enzymes are central to ecosystem processes because they mediate numerous
reactions that are essential in biogeochemical cycles. However, how soil enzyme activities …

Enzyme activities (EAs) respond to contamination in several ways depending on the
chemical form and content of heavy metals and metalloids (HMs) and their interactions with …

The paucity of investigations of carbon (C) dynamics through the soil profile with warming
makes it challenging to evaluate the terrestrial C feedback to climate change. Soil microbes …

Climate warming affects soil carbon (C) dynamics, with possible serious consequences for
soil C stocks and atmospheric CO2 concentrations. However, the mechanisms underlying …

Forest soils contain a large amount of organic carbon and contribute to terrestrial carbon
sequestration. However, we still have a poor understanding of what nutrients limit soil …

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 …

Despite the valid assumption that soil microorganisms play pivotal roles in regulating soil
organic matter (SOM) decomposition, there is limited evidence on whether there is a direct …

Increased human‐derived nitrogen (N) deposition to terrestrial ecosystems has resulted in
widespread phosphorus (P) limitation of net primary productivity. However, it remains …

Nonbiodegradable microplastics (MPs) are emerging contaminants in the environment and
potentially threaten soil health. In recent years, the impact of MPs on soil ecology has …
