Elevating levels of atmospheric carbon dioxide (CO 2), primarily driven by the burning of
fossil fuels, combustion of organic matter, and unsustainable land practices, have amplified …

Simple Summary Microorganisms and their enzymes are crucial to ensuring soil quality,
health, and carbon sequestration. Their numerous reactions are essential for …

The productivity of rainforests growing on highly weathered tropical soils is expected to be
limited by phosphorus availability. Yet, controlled fertilization experiments have been unable …

A significant increase in reactive nitrogen (N) added to terrestrial ecosystems through
agricultural fertilization or atmospheric deposition is considered to be one of the most …

Global changes can alter plant inputs from both above‐and belowground, which, thus, may
differently affect soil carbon and microbial communities. However, the general patterns of …

Almost half of the total organic carbon (C) in terrestrial ecosystems is stored in forest soils.
By altering rates of input or release of C from soils, forest management activities can …

Abstract The Community Land Model (CLM) is the land component of the Community Earth
System Model (CESM) and is used in several global and regional modeling systems. In this …

Soil respiration (Rs) plays a crucial role in regulating carbon (C) cycling in terrestrial
ecosystems and the atmospheric carbon dioxide (CO 2) concentration. However, the impact …

The global forest carbon (C) stock is estimated at 662 Gt of which 45% is in soil organic
matter. Thus, comprehensive understanding of the effects of forest management practices on …

Terrestrial ecosystem carbon (C) sequestration plays an important role in ameliorating
global climate change. While tropical forests exert a disproportionately large influence on …
