Abstract After the Industrial Revolution, the ever-increasing atmospheric CO 2 concentration
has resulted in significant problems for human beings. Nearly all countries in the world are …

Including cover crops within agricultural rotations may increase soil organic carbon (SOC).
However, contradictory findings generated by on-site experiments make it necessary to …

The dynamics of soil organic carbon (SOC) play a critical role in modulating global warming.
However, the long‐term spatiotemporal changes of SOC at large scale, and the impacts of …

Global climate warming may induce a positive feedback through increasing soil carbon (C)
release to the atmosphere. Although warming can affect both C input to and output from soil …

Abstract Models of radiative transfer (RT) are important tools for remote sensing of
vegetation, allowing for forward simulations of remotely sensed data as well as inverse …

Agricultural residues are produced in large quantities and their management is an issue all
over the world. Many of these residues consist of plant materials in different degrees of …

Desert-grassland transition zone is a critical ecological barrier frontier against sandstorms
and desertification in northern China. Soil nutrient stoichiometry is closely related to plant …

Forest soils play a critical role in carbon (C) reservoirs and climate change mitigation
globally. Exploring the driving factors of soil organic carbon (SOC) concentration and …

Plant diversity has a strong impact on a plethora of ecosystem functions and services,
especially ecosystem carbon (C) storage. However, the potential context-dependency of …

Forest restoration increases organic carbon (OC) sequestration mainly via the additional
litter input and improvements in soil structure that result in biochemical and physical C …
