Global climate change is already having significant impacts on arctic and alpine
ecosystems, and ongoing increases in temperature and altered precipitation patterns will …

Microbes are the unseen majority in soil and comprise a large portion of life's genetic
diversity. Despite their abundance, the impact of soil microbes on ecosystem processes is …

To assess the influence of global climate change at the regional scale, we examine past and
future changes in key climate, hydrological, and biophysical indicators across the US …

In this special section of Biogeochemistry, we present results from asnow manipulation
experiment in the northernhardwood forest ecosystem at the Hubbard BrookExperimental …

Microbial activity in Arctic tundra ecosystems continues through the winter and is an
important component of the annual C budget. This activity is sensitive to climatic variation …

Although freeze–thaw cycles can alter soil physical properties and microbial activity, their
overall impact on soil functioning remains unclear. This review addresses the effects of …

Abstract Changes to soil freezing dynamics with climate change can modify ecosystem
carbon and nutrient losses. Soil freezing is influenced strongly by both air temperature and …

Freezing and thawing of soils may affect the turnover of soil organic matter and thus the
losses of C and N from soils. Here we review the literature with special focus on:(i) the …

Freeze–thaw fluctuations in soil temperature may be critical events in the annual pattern of
nutrient mobilisation that supplies plant growth requirements in some temperate, and most …
