Microbial life represents the majority of Earth's biodiversity. Across disparate disciplines from
medicine to forestry, scientists continue to discover how the microbiome drives essential …

The soil microbiome governs biogeochemical cycling of macronutrients, micronutrients and
other elements vital for the growth of plants and animal life. Understanding and predicting …

Compelling evidence has shown that wetland methane emissions are more temperature
dependent than carbon dioxide emissions across diverse hydrologic conditions. However …

Over 70% of soil organic carbon (SOC) is stored at a depth greater than 20 cm belowground.
A portion of this deep SOC actively cycles on annual to decadal timescales and is sensitive …

Pristine wetlands have high potential for mitigating climate change because of their large
carbon stocks. However, whether and where wetlands will act as a greenhouse gas sink or …

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 …

Microbial necromass is an important source and component of soil organic matter (SOM),
especially within the most stable pools. Global change factors such as anthropogenic …

Vegetation carbon storage is crucial role in terrestrial ecosystems, impacting material and
energy conversion processes. The combined influence of climate change and …

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 …

Lichens represent self-supporting symbioses, which occur in a wide range of terrestrial
habitats and which contribute significantly to mineral cycling and energy flow at a global …
