Rhizosphere priming is crucial for regulating soil carbon and nitrogen biogeochemical
cycles. An appreciable number of studies have been conducted to quantify the rhizosphere …

Soil is one of the most important natural resources and medium for plant growth.
Anthropogenic interventions such as tillage, irrigation, and fertilizer application can affect the …

Study of life history strategies may help predict the performance of microorganisms in nature
by organizing the complexity of microbial communities into groups of organisms with similar …

The impact of increasing amounts of labile C input on priming effects (PE) on soil organic
matter (SOM) mineralization remains unclear, particularly under anoxic conditions and …

Microplastics (MPs) in farmland soils have the potential to cause environmental and human
health risks due to their ubiquitous and persistent nature. Degradable MPs may significantly …

Agronomic practices such as crop residue return and additional nutrient supply are
recommended to increase soil organic carbon (SOC) in arable farmlands. However …

Nutrient amendment diminished bacterial functional diversity, consolidating carbon flow
through fewer bacterial taxa. Here, we show strong differences in the bacterial taxa …

Unravelling biosphere feedback mechanisms is crucial for predicting the impacts of global
warming. Soil priming, an effect of fresh plant-derived carbon (C) on native soil organic …

Labile carbon (C) inputs to soil (eg, litter and root exudation) can prime soil organic matter
(SOM) decomposition, and strongly influence SOM dynamics. The direction and intensity of …

Microbial biomass plays a critical role in soil organic carbon (SOC) mineralization. However,
the effects of microbial biomass size on SOC mineralization are poorly understood. We …
