This review article aims to acknowledge the multifaceted functions of soil, and given its
status as the largest terrestrial carbon store, to reaffirm its previously established importance …

Under a warming climate, degrading permafrost profoundly and extensively affects arctic
and alpine ecology. However, most existing relevant studies are more focused on the …

Tundra and boreal ecosystems encompass the northern circumpolar permafrost region and
are experiencing rapid environmental change with important implications for the global …

Dissolved organic matter (DOM) plays a significant role in aquatic biogeochemical
processes and the carbon cycle. As global climate warming continues, it is anticipated that …

Permafrost regions at high latitudes and altitudes store about half of the Earth's soil organic
carbon (SOC). These areas are also some of the most intensely affected by anthropogenic …

Soil contains approximately 2344Gt (1 gigaton= 1 billion tonnes) of organic carbon globally
and is the largest terrestrial pool of organic carbon. Small changes in the soil organic carbon …

Soil carbon (C) is a critical component of Earth system models (ESMs), and its diverse
representations are a major source of the large spread across models in the terrestrial C …

Reduction–oxidation (redox) reactions underlie essentially all biogeochemical cycles. Like
most soil properties and processes, redox is spatiotemporally heterogeneous. However …

Globally, the allocation of root-shoot biomass is a key plant-adaptive strategy for terrestrial
ecosystems to enhance carbon-sequestration capacity. However, the deep mechanisms of …

A global data set including 5,087 observations of leaf nitrogen (N) and phosphorus (P) for
1,280 plant species at 452 sites and of associated mean climate indices demonstrates broad …
