Manual measurements of nitrous oxide (N2O) emissions with static chambers are commonly
practised. However, they generally do not consider the diurnal variability of N2O flux, and …

Litter inputs can influence soil respiration directly through labile C availability and, indirectly,
through the activity of soil microorganisms and modifications in soil microclimate; however …

The article discusses various reports published within the issue, including one by Girardin
and colleagues on the variance between the net primary productivity (NPP) and its …

We report results from a large-scale nutrient fertilization experiment along a
“megadiverse”(154 unique species were included in the study) 3,000-m elevation transect in …

Soil respiration is an important carbon (C) flux of global C cycle, and greatly affected by
nitrogen (N) addition in the form of deposition or fertilization. However, the effects of N …

Background: The Amazon to Andes transition zone provides large expanses of relatively
pristine forest wilderness across environmental gradients. Such elevational gradients are an …

We determined the effects of aboveground and belowground C inputs on soil CO 2 efflux
and microbial community composition by phospholipid fatty acids using aboveground litter …

Reliable soil organic carbon (SOC) stock measurements of all major ecosystems are
essential for predicting the influence of global warming on global soil carbon pools, but …

To better understand the soil carbon dynamics and cycling in terrestrial ecosystems in
response to environmental changes, we studied soil respiration, litter decomposition, and …

Organic compounds released by plant roots may be protected from microbial decomposition
through mineral-organic association. Yet, the adsorption characteristics of root exudates …
