Water balance creates a threshold in soil pH at the global scale
Soil pH regulates the capacity of soils to store and supply nutrients, and thus contributes
substantially to controlling productivity in terrestrial ecosystems. However, soil pH is not an …

Reconciling multiple impacts of nitrogen enrichment on soil carbon: plant, microbial and geochemical controls
Impacts of reactive nitrogen (N) inputs on ecosystem carbon (C) dynamics are highly
variable, and the underlying mechanisms remain unclear. Here, we proposed a new …
