Global climate change has resulted in changes to the earth's geological, ecological, and
biological ecosystems, which pose a severe threat to the existence of human civilization and …

Soil fungi and bacteria are the key players in the transformation and processing of carbon
and nutrients in terrestrial ecosystems, yet controls on their abundance and activity are not …

Livestock grazing activities potentially alter ecosystem carbon (C) and nitrogen (N) cycles in
grassland ecosystems. Despite the fact that numerous individual studies and a few meta …

The temperature dependence of global photosynthesis and respiration determine land
carbon sink strength. While the land sink currently mitigates~ 30% of anthropogenic carbon …

Stocks of soil organic carbon represent a large component of the carbon cycle that may
participate in climate change feedbacks, particularly on decadal and centennial timescales …

Soil respiration (Rs), the soil‐to‐atmosphere flux of CO2, is a dominant but uncertain part of
the carbon cycle, even after decades of study. This review focuses on progress in …

Extreme climatic events, such as droughts and heat stress, induce anomalies in ecosystem–
atmosphere CO 2 fluxes, such as gross primary production (GPP) and ecosystem respiration …

Drought as an intermittent disturbance of the water cycle interacts with the carbon cycle
differently than the 'gradual'climate change. During drought plants respond physiologically …

Soil respiration (Rs) is a major pathway by which fixed carbon in the biosphere is returned to
the atmosphere, yet there are limits to our ability to predict respiration rates using …

Tree planting is increasingly being proposed as a strategy to combat climate change
through carbon (C) sequestration in tree biomass. However, total ecosystem C storage that …
