Soils are essential for supporting food production and providing ecosystem services but are
under pressure due to population growth, higher food demand, and land use competition …

Microorganisms are critical in terrestrial carbon cycling because their growth, activity and
interactions with the environment largely control the fate of recent plant carbon inputs as well …

Soil is the largest terrestrial reservoir of organic carbon and is central for climate change
mitigation and carbon-climate feedbacks. Chemical and physical associations of soil carbon …

Microbes regulate the composition and turnover of organic matter. Here we developed a
framework called Energy-Diversity-Trait integrative Analysis to quantify how dissolved …

The relationship between biodiversity and biomass has been a long standing debate in
ecology. Soil biodiversity and biomass are essential drivers of ecosystem functions …

Managing soil organic matter (SOM) stocks to address global change challenges requires
well‐substantiated knowledge of SOM behavior that can be clearly communicated between …

Soil microorganisms act as gatekeepers for soil–atmosphere carbon exchange by balancing
the accumulation and release of soil organic matter. However, poor understanding of the …

The sensitivity of soil microbial respiration to warming (Q 10) remains a major source of
uncertainty surrounding the projections of soil carbon emissions to the atmosphere as the …

Soil enzymes are central to ecosystem processes because they mediate numerous
reactions that are essential in biogeochemical cycles. However, how soil enzyme activities …

The international 4 per 1000 initiative aims at supporting states and non-governmental
stakeholders in their efforts towards a better management of soil carbon (C) stocks. These …
