The paradigm that permafrost-affected soils show restricted mineral nitrogen (N) cycling in
favor of organic N compounds is based on the observation that net N mineralization rates in …

As the permafrost region warms and permafrost soils thaw, vast stores of soil organic carbon
(C) become vulnerable to enhanced microbial decomposition and lateral transport into …

Microbial nitrogen use efficiency (NUE) describes the partitioning of organic N taken up
between growth and the release of inorganic N to the environment (that is, N mineralization) …

Global warming impacts biogeochemical cycles in terrestrial ecosystems, but it is still
unclear how the simultaneous cycling of carbon (C) and nitrogen (N) in soils could be …

Rising temperatures in the Arctic can affect soil organic matter (SOM) decomposition directly
and indirectly, by increasing plant primary production and thus the allocation of plant …

Nitrogen (N) availability in agroecosystems is often poorly coupled to plant N uptake,
leading to inefficient fertilizer use and environmental losses. Building soil organic N pools …

Depolymerization of high‐molecular weight organic nitrogen (N) represents the major
bottleneck of soil N cycling and yet is poorly understood compared to the subsequent …

Losses of C from decomposing permafrost may be offset by increased productivity of tundra
plants, but nitrogen availability partially limits plant growth in tundra ecosystems. In this soil …

Cryoturbation, the burial of topsoil material into deeper soil horizons by repeated freeze–
thaw events, is an important storage mechanism for soil organic matter (SOM) in permafrost …

It had been suggested that permafrost thaw could promote frozen nitrogen (N) release and
modify microbial N transformation rates, which might alter soil N availability and then …
