Soil dissolved organic matter (DOM) is crucial to atmospheric, terrestrial and aquatic
environments as well as human life. Here, by characterizing DOM from 89 grassland soils …

Carbon sequestration in grasslands has been proposed as an important means to offset
greenhouse gas emissions from ruminant systems. To understand the potential and …

Grazing exclusion (GE) is considered an effective strategy for restoring the degradation of
overgrazed grasslands on the global scale. Soil microbial diversity plays a crucial role in …

Abstract Ecosystems on the Tibetan Plateau (TP) are strategically important natural
resources of China. However, whether the regional vegetation would continue to sequester …

Climate‐induced changes in snow cover can greatly impact winter soil microclimate and
spring water supply. These effects, in turn, can influence plant and microbial activity and the …

Clarifying temporal and spatial variations of carbon exchanges of arid and semi-arid
grasslands, the most widespread terrestrial ecosystem in the Northern China, is critical to …

Microbial carbon (C) use efficiency (CUE) describes the proportion of organic C used by
microorganisms for anabolic processes, which increases with soil organic C (SOC) content …

Climate change has induced substantial impact on the gross primary productivity (GPP) of
terrestrial ecosystems by affecting vegetation phenology. Nevertheless, it remains unclear …

Future global climate changes are expected to increase soil organic carbon (SOC)
decomposition. However, the combined effect of C inputs, land use changes, and climate on …

Abstract Changes in precipitation patterns induced by climate change exacerbate the
phenomenon by stimulating carbon (C) and nitrogen (N) processes in terrestrial ecosystems …
