Soil microorganisms shape global element cycles in life and death. Living soil
microorganisms are a major engine of terrestrial biogeochemistry, driving the turnover of soil …

Much research focuses on increasing carbon storage in mineral-associated organic matter
(MAOM), in which carbon may persist for centuries to millennia. However, MAOM-targeted …

Grazing represents the most extensive use of land worldwide. Yet its impacts on ecosystem
services remain uncertain because pervasive interactions between grazing pressure …

Soil organic carbon (SOC) persistence is predominantly governed by mineral protection,
consequently, soil mineral-associated (MAOC) and particulate organic carbon (POC) …

Increased human‐derived nitrogen (N) loading in terrestrial ecosystems has caused
widespread ecosystem‐level phosphorus (P) limitation. In response, plants and soil micro …

Nitrogen (N) availability has been considered as a critical factor for the cycling and storage
of soil organic carbon (SOC), but effects of N enrichment on the SOC pool appear highly …

Microbial necromass is a large, dynamic and persistent component of soil organic carbon,
the dominant terrestrial carbon pool. Quantification of necromass carbon stocks and its …

Increasing phosphorus (P) inputs induced by anthropogenic activities have increased P
availability in soils considerably, with dramatic effects on carbon (C) cycling and storage …

Soil carbon sequestration arises from the interplay of carbon input and stabilization, which
vary in space and time. Assessing the resulting microscale carbon distribution in an intact …

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 …
