Reduction in snow cover is a prominent aspect of global change. Freeze–thaw cycles
(FTCs) of different amplitudes and durations in soil due to insufficient thermal insulation may …

Microbial communities are important influencing factors in soil biogeochemical cycling.
Differences in stand age can affect microbial communities and functions by altering soil …

Concerns about contaminants dispersed by seasonal precipitation have grown due to their
potential hazards to outdoor environments and human health. However, studies on the …

Snow cover provides a thermally stable and humid soil environment and thereby regulates
soil microbial communities and biogeochemical cycling. A warmer world with large …

Long-term fertilization alters soil microbiological properties and then affects the soil organic
carbon (SOC) pool. However, the interrelations of SOC with biological drivers and their …

Warmer winters with less snowfall are increasing the frequency of soil freeze–thaw cycles
across temperate regions. Soil microbial responses to freeze–thaw cycles vary and some of …

From a radioecological perspective, increasing attention has been paid to the long-term
stabilisation of decommissioned uranium mill tailings (UMT) repositories. However, little is …

Inter-annual variability in growing season temperature and precipitation, together with snow
coverage duration, determine vegetation growth in boreal ecosystems. However, little is …

Climate-induced changes in thinning snowpack can greatly impact soil freeze-thaw patterns
and water supply. These effects may influence the soil microbial diversity and the key …

Recent climate warming has greatly shaped snow-cover patterns globally. Variances in
snow cover are expected to affect soil microclimate and microorganisms, which may cause …
