Soils act as sources and sinks for greenhouse gases (GHG) such as carbon dioxide (CO 2),
methane (CH 4), and nitrous oxide (N 2 O). Since both storage and emission capacities may …

Background An acceleration of model-data synthesis activities has leveraged many
terrestrial carbon datasets, but utilization of soil respiration (RS) data has not kept pace …

Climate change is altering the frequency and severity of drought events. Recent evidence
indicates that drought may produce legacy effects on soil microbial communities. However, it …

Soil is an extremely complex and dynamic matrix, in part, due to the wide diversity of
organisms living within it. Soil organic matter (SOM) is the fundamental substrate on which …

Drought affects plants and soil microorganisms, but it is still not clear how it alters the carbon
(C) transfer at the plant–microbial interface. Here, we tested direct and indirect effects of …

Soil respiration (Rs), the soil‐to‐atmosphere CO2 flux produced by microbes and plant
roots, is a critical but uncertain component of the global carbon cycle. Our current …

Soil respiration (R s) is a key process in the terrestrial carbon cycle. Measurement and
simulation of R s has received much attention recently. We collected annual R s field …

Drought periods are projected to become more severe and more frequent in many European
regions. While effects of single strong droughts on plant and microbial carbon (C) dynamics …

Soil respiration (Rs), the efflux of CO2 from soils to the atmosphere, is a major component of
the terrestrial carbon cycle, but is poorly constrained from regional to global scales. The …

Soil respiration is one of the major ecosystem carbon fluxes and has a strong relationship
with climate. We quantified this dependence for the Russian territory based on coupling …
