Sugars are the most abundant organic compounds in the biosphere because they are
monomers of all polysaccharides. We summarize the results of the last 40 years on the …

Soil erosion and deposition processes play an important role influencing accumulation and
long-term stability of soil organic carbon (SOC). Therefore, evaluations of landscape-scale …

Arctic tundra stores large quantities of soil organic matter under varying redox conditions. As
the climate warms, these carbon reservoirs are susceptible to increased rates of …

Nitrogen (N) is the primary limiting nutrient for forest production. Therefore, understanding
how environmental factors affect N transformation rates is essential for the provision of …

Arctic tundra soils store a large quantity of organic carbon that is susceptible to
decomposition and release to the atmosphere as methane (CH4) and carbon dioxide (CO2) …

Seasonally flooded, freshwater cypress-tupelo wetlands, dominated by baldcypress
(Taxodium distictum), water tupelo (Nyssa aquatica), and swamp tupelo (Nyssa sylvatica …

Soil organic carbon (SOC) plays a critical role in major ecosystem processes, agriculture,
and climate mitigation. Accurate SOC predictions are challenging due to natural variation, as …

The effects of forest conversion on soil fertility are still not well understood in subtropical
zones. This issue was addressed by comparing chemical properties of soil in a secondary …

At most sites the magnitude of soil-atmosphere exchange of nitrous dioxide (N 2 O), carbon
dioxide (CO 2) and methane (CH 4) was estimated based on a few chambers located in a …

Endophytic fungi of healthy twig tissues act as dominant primary colonizers of twig litters and
are exposed to the attacks of saprobic secondary colonizers. In the present study, we …
