Soil respiration is one of the largest carbon fluxes from terrestrial ecosystems. Estimating
global soil respiration is difficult because of its high spatiotemporal variability and sensitivity …

Land cover changes are recognized to affect the organic matter fractions and other soil
properties with a consequence for microbial and enzyme activities involved in nutrient …

Forest degradation causes soil carbon losses and affects soil C and N cycling. However, it is
not clear how reforestation of degraded areas with different species affects soil and …

This study compares soil respiration and its heterotrophic and autotrophic components in
four land use types: agriculture, 2 and 9 year old hybrid poplar plantations, grassland, and a …

The soil respiration (Rs) of forests is a major component of global Rs, yet few studies have
focused on it. This study aimed to estimate global forest Rs and its changes at a resolution of …

Soil function refers to all the roles and services that the soil performs, and can be assessed
by measuring physical, chemical and biological properties. In any case, studies on the state …

Alder (Alnus subcordata CAM), as N-fixing tree, are preferred plantation species that may
change soil microbial community and play a vital role in nutrient cycling. Litter and topsoil in …

As an effective method to control soil erosion and increase vegetation coverage in the Loess
Plateau of China, the conversion of cropland to plantations also influences soil respiration …

Microbial parameters have been used to monitor changes in the topsoil under different land
covers. Soils from five land cover systems common in northern Iran, including virgin natural …

In temperate forests, oak (Quercus castaneifolia) is an important species that grows along an
elevation gradient from the flood prone plains to high topographical positions of the …
