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

Increased human‐derived nitrogen (N) loading in terrestrial ecosystems has caused
widespread ecosystem‐level phosphorus (P) limitation. In response, plants and soil micro …

Soils store more carbon than other terrestrial ecosystems,. How soil organic carbon (SOC)
forms and persists remains uncertain,, which makes it challenging to understand how it will …

The crucial biogeochemical processes such as carbon and nutrient cycling are increasingly
altered at the ecosystem scale by global environmental changes. Although soil extracellular …

Although numerous studies suggest that organic amendments are better at maintaining soil
fertility and crop production than mineral-only fertilization, it is unclear if this occurs in …

Nitrogen (N) fertilization affects the rate of soil organic carbon (SOC) decomposition by
regulating extracellular enzyme activities (EEA). Extracellular enzymes have not been …

Agricultural and industrial activities have increased atmospheric nitrogen (N) deposition to
ecosystems worldwide. N deposition can stimulate plant growth and soil carbon (C) input …

Climate warming affects soil carbon (C) dynamics, with possible serious consequences for
soil C stocks and atmospheric CO2 concentrations. However, the mechanisms underlying …

Anthropogenic activities have raised nitrogen (N) input worldwide with profound implications
for soil carbon (C) cycling in ecosystems. The specific impacts of N input on soil organic …

Intensified anthropogenic activities will increase rates of nitrogen (N) deposition over the
next decades, especially in the tropics. There are urgent needs to know how soil microbial …
