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 …

The organic matter of living plants is the precursor material of the organic matter stored in
terrestrial soil ecosystems. Although a great deal of knowledge exists on the carbon turnover …

Microorganisms are critical in mediating carbon (C) and nitrogen (N) cycling processes in
soils. Yet, it has long been debated whether the processes underlying biogeochemical …

Microbial elements use efficiencies are the important parameters in regulating soil carbon
(C) and nitrogen (N) mineralization processes. Microbial C use efficiency (CUE) describes …

Mineral stabilization of soil organic matter is an important regulator of the global carbon (C)
cycle. However, the vulnerability of mineral-stabilized organic matter (OM) to climate change …

Microbial residual carbon (MRC) plays an important role in maintaining soil carbon stability
and is therefore a focus of soil organic carbon (SOC) estimation. However, the global pattern …

Increasing wildfire severity, which is common throughout the western United States, can
have deleterious effects on plant regeneration and large impacts on carbon (C) and nitrogen …

Increasing plant species diversity benefits soil organic carbon (SOC) accumulation in forest
ecosystems, but how microbial necromass contributes to SOC accumulation in response to …

Soil microbial carbon use efficiency (CUE) is a crucial parameter that can be used to
evaluate the partitioning of soil carbon (C) between microbial growth and respiration …

Understanding the dynamics of soil microbial communities responsible for soil element
cycling is vital to understanding organic amendments' mechanisms in agricultural soil …
