Soil, through its various functions, plays a vital role in the Earth's ecosystems and provides
multiple ecosystem services to humanity. Pedotransfer functions (PTFs) are simple to …

Predicting the consequences of manipulating genotype (G) and agronomic management (M)
on agricultural ecosystem performances under future environmental (E) conditions remains …

Soil microbes make up a significant portion of the genetic diversity and play a critical role in
belowground carbon (C) cycling in terrestrial ecosystems. Soil microbial diversity and …

Soil respiration (Rs) plays a crucial role in regulating carbon (C) cycling in terrestrial
ecosystems and the atmospheric carbon dioxide (CO 2) concentration. However, the impact …

Soil net nitrogen mineralization rate (Nmin), which is critical for soil nitrogen availability and
plant growth, is thought to be primarily controlled by climate and soil physical and/or …

Soil organic carbon (SOC) is the largest carbon sink in terrestrial ecosystems and plays a
critical role in mitigating climate change. Increasing reactive nitrogen (N) in ecosystems …

Recycling of livestock manure in agroecosystems to partially substitute synthetic fertilizer
nitrogen (N) input is recommended to alleviate the environmental degradation associated …

In agricultural and natural systems researchers have demonstrated large effects of plant–soil
feedback (PSF) on plant growth. However, the concepts and approaches used in these two …

Despite decades of research progress, ecologists are still debating which pools and fluxes
provide nitrogen (N) to plants and soil microbes across different ecosystems …

A mechanistic understanding of plant photosynthetic response is needed to reliably predict
