Abstract Comprehensive map** of Ecosystem Services (ES) is necessary to understand
the impact of global change on crucial ES and to find strategies to sustain human wellbeing …

Background Soil N mineralisation is the process by which organic N is converted into plant-
available forms, while soil N immobilisation is the transformation of inorganic soil N into …

There is an increasing interest in develo** agricultural management practices that support
a more nature-based, sustainable food production system. In organic systems, extracellular …

Mechanical weed control is a major element of weed suppression in organic farming
systems. In addition to the direct effect on weed growth, mechanical weeding, such as …

Aims We evaluated the impacts of altered precipitation regimes on multiple aspects of the C
cycle, including C fluxes, plant and soil microbial communities, and plant-soil interactions in …

Understanding how soil nitrogen (N) turnover responds to temperature and soil moisture
alterations is important for accurately predicting responses of soil N availability and plant …

Water scarcity, salinity stress and excessive use of nitrogen fertilizers are the main threats to
agricultural production in arid/semi-arid Hetao Irrigation District (HID), China. This study …

Aims Soil nitrogen (N) mineralization-immobilization turnover (MIT) regulates the inorganic
N supply in terrestrial ecosystems. Much research has been done to understand the factors …

Aims The natural abundances of stable carbon (C) and nitrogen (N) isotopes (δ13C and
δ15N) are extensively used to indicate the C and N biogeochemical cycles at large spatial …

Aims Maize/soybean intercrop** has many advantages in soil nitrogen (N) use compared
with monocultures. However, whether fungi increase the mineralization of soil organic N in …
