Anthropogenic warming is expected to accelerate global soil organic carbon (SOC) losses
via microbial decomposition, yet, there is still no consensus on the loss magnitude. In this …

Carbon use efficiency (CUE) is being intensively applied to quantify carbon (C) cycling
processes from microbial cell to global scales. Energy use efficiency (EUE) is at least as …

Soils store more carbon than other terrestrial ecosystems,. How soil organic carbon (SOC)
forms and persists remains uncertain,, which makes it challenging to understand how it will …

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 …

Soil microorganisms act as gatekeepers for soil–atmosphere carbon exchange by balancing
the accumulation and release of soil organic matter. However, poor understanding of the …

Tropical soils contain one-third of the carbon stored in soils globally, so destabilization of
soil organic matter caused by the warming predicted for tropical regions this century could …

The organic matter of living plants is the precursor material of the organic matter stored in
terrestrial soil ecosystems. Although a great deal of knowledge exists on the carbon turnover …

Soils harbor a substantial fraction of the world's biodiversity, contributing to many crucial
ecosystem functions. It is thus essential to identify general macroecological patterns related …

Perturbation of soil microbial communities by rising temperatures could have important
consequences for biodiversity and future climate, particularly in tropical forests where high …

The capacity for terrestrial ecosystems to sequester additional carbon (C) with rising CO2
concentrations depends on soil nutrient availability,. Previous evidence suggested that …
