Microbial decomposition processes are typically described using first‐order kinetics, and the
effect of elevated temperature is modeled as an increase in the rate constant. However …

Climate change has the potential to alter both the composition and function of a soil's
microbial community, and interactions among climate change factors may alter soil …

Soil stores more carbon (C) than plants and atmosphere combined and it is vulnerable to
increased microbial respiration under projected global changes including land-use change …

Soil microbial communities mediate soil feedbacks to climate; a thorough understanding of
their response to increasing temperatures is therefore central to predict climate-induced …

Studies assessing shifts in soil nutrient cycling with warming benefit from microbial data
collection with clear ecological hypotheses. However, the fact that many organisms alter …

We used metabolic tracers and modeling to analyze the response of soil metabolism to a
sudden change in temperature from 4 to 20° C. We hypothesized that intact soil microbial …

Global surface temperature is predicted to increase by 1.4–5.8° C by the end of this century.
However, the impacts of this projected warming on soil C balance and the C budget of …

Understanding the temperature sensitivity of soil respiration is critical for predicting the
response of ecosystems to climate change, yet the microbial communities responsible are …

Temperature regulates the rate of biogeochemical cycles. One way it does so is through
control of microbial metabolism. Warming effects on metabolism change with time as …

Soil microbial communities mediate critical ecosystem carbon and nutrient cycles. How
microbial communities will respond to changes in vegetation and climate, however, are not …
