Numerous field studies have found changes in soil respiration and microbial abundance
under experimental warming. Yet, it is uncertain whether the magnitude of these responses …

Greenhouse gas emissions from wetlands are significantly promoted by global nitrogen
input for changing the rate of soil carbon and nitrogen cycling, and are substantially affected …

In a 26-year soil warming experiment in a mid-latitude hardwood forest, we documented
changes in soil carbon cycling to investigate the potential consequences for the climate …

Soil organic carbon harbors three times as much carbon as Earth's atmosphere, and its
decomposition is a potentially large climate change feedback and major source of …

Soils are the largest repository of organic carbon (C) in the terrestrial biosphere and
represent an important source of carbon dioxide (CO2) to the atmosphere, releasing 60–75 …

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 …

Fungal decomposition of soil organic matter depends on soil nitrogen (N) availability. This
ecosystem process is being jeopardized by changes in N inputs that have resulted from a …

Green spaces embedded within the urban matrix, particularly residential yards, could
mitigate negative aspects of urban development and provide pollinator habitat. Lawns …

Soil microbes are major drivers of soil carbon cycling, yet we lack an understanding of how
climate warming will affect microbial communities. Three ongoing field studies at the …

Microbes are responsible for cycling carbon (C) through soils, and predicted changes in soil
C stocks under climate change are highly sensitive to shifts in the mechanisms assumed to …
