Soil physical and biogeochemical processes are key to regulate the soil microbial
necromass (SMN) patterns. Increasing evidence showed that the SMN contributes to the …

Microbial necromass carbon (MNC) accounts for a large fraction of soil organic carbon
(SOC) in terrestrial ecosystems. Yet our understanding of the fate of this large carbon pool …

Microbial necromass accrual via anabolism is an important process contributing to the
formation and accumulation of stable soil organic C (SOC). Both substrates and microbial …

Evidence is emerging that microbial products and residues (necromass) contribute greatly to
stable soil organic matter (SOM), which calls for the necessity of separating the microbial …

Microbial carbon (C) use efficiency (CUE) is a comprehensive parameter to measure the
accumulation and loss of soil C caused by microbial growth and respiration, which is …

Agroforestry systems are characterized by a high complexity between vegetation
components and niche partitioning. In a crop-grass-tree agroforestry system, rape, willow …

In the context of global warming, the focus of research in grape ecology has shifted towards
the role of vineyards as carbon sinks and their capacity for soil carbon sequestration. Given …

Grassland management practices vary in stocking rates and plant removal strategies
(grazing versus mowing). They influence organic matter (OM) inputs, which were postulated …

Soil fertility is mainly related to soil total organic carbon (C) that should be preserved in order
to optimize soil quality and functionality. Consequently, the use of organic amendments …

Microbial necromass substantially contributes to soil organic carbon (SOC) sequestration.
However, the response of soil microbial necromass to fresh labile carbon (C) inputs and the …
