The soil microbiome governs biogeochemical cycling of macronutrients, micronutrients and
other elements vital for the growth of plants and animal life. Understanding and predicting …

Atmospheric carbon dioxide concentration ([CO2]) is increasing, which increases leaf‐scale
photosynthesis and intrinsic water‐use efficiency. These direct responses have the potential …

Anthropogenic activities profoundly impact soil organic carbon (SOC), affecting its
contribution to ecosystem services such as climate regulation. Here, we conducted a …

Terrestrial ecosystems remove about 30 per cent of the carbon dioxide (CO2) emitted by
human activities each year, yet the persistence of this carbon sink depends partly on how …

Global changes can alter plant inputs from both above‐and belowground, which, thus, may
differently affect soil carbon and microbial communities. However, the general patterns of …

Root exudates are a pathway for plant–microbial communication and play a key role in
ecosystem response to environmental change. Here, we collate recent evidence that shows …

Microbial necromass is an important source and component of soil organic matter (SOM),
especially within the most stable pools. Global change factors such as anthropogenic …

A wide range of abiotic and biotic stresses adversely affect plant's growth and production.
Under stress, one of the main responses of plants is the modulation of exudates excreted in …

Direct quantification of terrestrial biosphere responses to global change is crucial for
projections of future climate change in Earth system models. Here, we synthesized …

Plant-soil feedbacks (PSFs) are interactions among plants, soil organisms, and abiotic soil
conditions that influence plant performance, plant species diversity, and community …
