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

Mechanisms to mitigate global climate change by sequestering carbon (C) in different 'sinks'
have been proposed as at least temporary measures. Of the major global C pools, terrestrial …

Temperature sensitivity (Q10) of soil organic matter (SOM) decomposition is a crucial
parameter to predict the fate of soil carbon (C) under global warming. Nonetheless, the …

The response of soil organic matter (OM) decomposition to increasing temperature is a
critical aspect of ecosystem responses to global change. The impacts of climate warming on …

Significantly more carbon is stored in the world's soils—including peatlands, wetlands and
permafrost—than is present in the atmosphere. Disagreement exists, however, regarding the …

The temperature sensitivity (Q 10) of soil respiration (Rs) is crucial to assess the carbon (C)
budget of terrestrial ecosystems under global warming. The Q 10 changes along a climatic …

The structure of the rotary motor was described in Chapter 9 (Fig. 9.3) and its assembly was
discussed in Chapter 10. Here, I will say more about function. Given that the diameter of the …

We reviewed the experimental evidence for long-term carbon (C) sequestration in soils as
consequence of specific forest management strategies. Utilization of terrestrial C sinks …

The temperature sensitivity of heterotrophic soil respiration is crucial for modeling carbon
dynamics but it is variable. Presently, however, most models employ a fixed value of 1.5 or …
