The sustainability of life on Earth is under increasing threat due to human-induced climate
change. This perilous change in the Earth's climate is caused by increases in carbon dioxide …

Soil, through its various functions, plays a vital role in the Earth's ecosystems and provides
multiple ecosystem services to humanity. Pedotransfer functions (PTFs) are simple to …

Global soils store at least twice as much carbon as Earth's atmosphere,. The global soil-to-
atmosphere (or total soil respiration, RS) carbon dioxide (CO2) flux is increasing,, but the …

Soils are an important site of carbon storage. Climate is generally regarded as one of the
primary controls over soil organic carbon,, but there is still uncertainty about the direction …

Global change is altering species distributions and thus interactions among organisms.
Organisms live in concert with thousands of other species, some beneficial, some …

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

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 …

Carbon storage by many terrestrial ecosystems can be limited by nutrients, predominantly
nitrogen (N) and phosphorus (P), in addition to other environmental constraints, water, light …

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 …

Microbial decomposition of soil organic matter produces a major flux of CO2 from terrestrial
ecosystems and can act as a feedback to climate change. Although climate‐carbon models …
