Soil, the living terrestrial skin of the Earth, plays a central role in supporting life and is home
to an unimaginable diversity of microorganisms. This review explores key drivers for …

Soil moisture strongly affects the dynamics of soil organic matter and is an important
environmental variable in all models predicting changes in soil carbon stocks from site to …

The soil carbon-climate feedback is currently the least constrained component of global
warming projections, and the major source of uncertainties stems from a poor understanding …

Soil carbon (C) is a critical component of Earth system models (ESMs), and its diverse
representations are a major source of the large spread across models in the terrestrial C …

The sensitivity of soil organic matter decomposition to global environmental change is a
topic of prominent relevance for the global carbon cycle. Decomposition depends on …

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 …

Canada has extensive forests and peatlands that play key roles in global carbon cycle.
Canadian soils and peatlands are assumed to store approximately 20% of the world's soil …

The temperature sensitivity of heterotrophic soil respiration is crucial for modeling carbon
dynamics but it is variable. Presently, however, most models employ a fixed value of 1.5 or …

Rivers are dynamic components of the terrestrial carbon cycle and provide important
functions in ecosystem processes. Although rivers act as conveyers of carbon to the oceans …

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 …
