The term carbon (C) sequestration has not just become a buzzword but is something of a
siren's call to scientific communicators and media outlets. Carbon sequestration is the …

Climate changes have unpredictable effects on ecosystems and agriculture. Plants adapt
metabolically to overcome these challenges, with plant secondary metabolites (PSMs) being …

Whether and how to synchronously regulate stream water nitrogen (N) and phosphorus (P)
concentrations and ratios is a major challenge for sustainable aquatic functions. Soil carbon …

Soil microbiology has entered into the big data era, but the challenges in bridging laboratory‐
, field‐, and model‐based studies of ecosystem functions still remain. Indeed, the limitation …

Ecoenzymatic stoichiometry connects the elemental stoichiometry of microbial biomass and
detrital organic matter to microbial nutrient assimilation and growth, and thus has been …

Global warming has exacerbated the threat of drought in Central Asia, amplifying its
ecological implications within the region's grassland ecosystems. This has become an …

Soil nitrogen (N) is a renewable resource of N fixed by free-living N fixation (FLNF)
diazotrophs. Thus, understanding the microbial driving mechanism of FLNF activity can aid …

Plants modulate their phosphorus (P) acquisition strategies (ie, change in root morphology,
exudate composition, and mycorrhizal symbiosis) to adapt to varying soil P availability …

Soil organic carbon (SOC) is the largest carbon (C) pool in terrestrial ecosystems, and plays
an important role in mitigating climate change. With increasing nitrogen (N) loading …

Soil organic carbon (SOC), as a crucial measure of soil quality, is typically low in arid
regions due to salinization, which is a global issue. How soil organic carbon changes with …
