Microorganisms are critical in mediating carbon (C) and nitrogen (N) cycling processes in
soils. Yet, it has long been debated whether the processes underlying biogeochemical …

Carbon (C) storage in forest soils can be enhanced through increasing organic C input and
decreasing soil heterotrophic respiration (RH). The inhibitory effect of biochar on RH has …

The application of biochar (BC) in conjunction with mineral fertilizers is one of the most
promising management practices recommended to improve soil quality. However, the …

There has been a growing interest in studying the labile C pool in order to promote the
sequestration and stabilization of soil organic carbon (SOC). Although labile SOC fractions …

Glacier-retreated areas are ideal areas to study soil biogeochemical processes during
vegetation succession, because of the limited effect of other environmental and climatic …

Wildfires decrease forest aboveground biomass and have long-term legacy effects on
carbon (C) stocks in soil via alterations of microbial communities and functions. However …

Background Paddy soil dissolved organic matter (DOM) represents a major hotspot for soil
biogeochemistry, yet we know little about its chemodiversity let alone the microbial …

There is an urgent need to develop agricultural methods that balance water supply and
demand while at the same time improve resilience to climate variability. A promising …

Intensive forest management practices such as organic mulching and heavy fertilization can
affect soil microbial composition and function, and soil organic carbon (SOC) forms …

The influence of long‐term chemical fertilization on soil microbial communities has been one
of the frontier topics of agricultural and environmental sciences and is critical for linking soil …
