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 …

Increasing wildfire severity, which is common throughout the western United States, can
have deleterious effects on plant regeneration and large impacts on carbon (C) and nitrogen …

Soil organic matter (SOM) decomposition in response to global change represents a critical
uncertainty in coupled carbon (C) cycle-climate models. Much of this uncertainty arises from …

Increasing global temperatures are predicted to stimulate soil microbial respiration. The
direct and indirect impacts of warming on soil microbes, nevertheless, remain unclear. This …

Microbial communities in soils are generally considered to be limited by carbon (C), which
could be a crucial control for basic soil functions and responses of microbial heterotrophic …

Chemical stabilization of microbial-derived products such as extracellular enzymes (EE)
onto mineral surfaces has gained attention as a possibly important mechanism leading to …

Aims Aboveground plant litter inputs are important sources of soil carbon (C). We aimed to
establish how experimentally altered litter inputs affect soil C to 1-m depth across different …

The conversion of rainforests to plantations leads to about 50% loss in the organic carbon
(C) content of the soil and strongly influences nitrogen (N) cycling, potentially increasing …

Researchers are paying increasing attention to soil stoichiometry (carbon: nitrogen:
phosphorus (C: N: P) ratios) in efforts to explore biogeochemical cycles, but little is known …

Mangrove ecosystems play an important role in carbon (C) sequestration and nitrogen (N)
removal. Although Spartina alterniflora has successively invaded native mangrove habitats …
