The purpose of this review is to highlight progress in unraveling carbon cycling dynamics
across the continuum of landscapes, inland waters, coastal oceans, and the atmosphere …

Mechanisms for C stabilization in soils have received much interest recently due to their
relevance in the global C cycle. Here we review the mechanisms that are currently, but often …

The largest terrestrial organic carbon pool, carbon in soils, is regulated by an intricate
connection between plant carbon inputs, microbial activity, and the soil matrix. This is …

Plant‐and microbially derived carbon (C) are the two major sources of soil organic matter
(SOM), and their ratio impacts SOM composition, accumulation, stability, and turnover. The …

Understanding the large-scale pattern of soil microbial carbon use efficiency (CUE) and its
temperature sensitivity (CUET) is critical for understanding soil carbon–climate feedback …

Microbial growth and respiration are at the core of the soil carbon (C) cycle, as these
microbial physiological performances ultimately determine the fate of soil C. Microbial C use …

Dissolved organic matter (DOM) plays a vital role in biogeochemical processes and in
determining the responses of soil organic matter (SOM) to global change. Although the …

Purpose Soil organic matter is an important part of the earth's carbon cycle, of which stability
is related to its own obstinacy, and environmental disturbance also plays an important role …

The majority of life on Earth—notably, microbial life—occurs in places that do not receive
sunlight, with the habitats of the oceans being the largest of these reservoirs. Sunlight …

Soil organic matter (SOM) consists of various functional pools that are stabilized by specific
mechanisms and have certain turnover rates. For the development of mechanistic models …
