Global climate warming may induce a positive feedback through increasing soil carbon (C)
release to the atmosphere. Although warming can affect both C input to and output from soil …

There is evidence of climate hormesis (low-dose stimulation and high-dose inhibition by
climate change-related stressors), the adaptive response of cells and organisms to …

Biochar has been shown to improve soil properties and plant productivity in soils with
inherently low fertility. However, little has been reported for upland corns under dry and wet …

Soil microbial communities and extracellular enzymes have important roles in many
terrestrial ecosystem processes and are influenced by climate change drivers. In the present …

Global warming intensifies the hydrological cycle, which results in changes in precipitation
regime (frequency and amount), and will likely have significant impacts on soil respiration (R …

Soil respiration (Rs) is the largest flux of carbon dioxide (CO2) next to photosynthesis in
terrestrial ecosystems. With the absorption of atmospheric methane (CH4), upland soils …

In the context of global warming, carbon dioxide emissions have become a global concern.
Cropland respiration is an important component of carbon dioxide emissions from terrestrial …

Increases in global temperatures due to climate change threaten to tip the balance between
carbon (C) fluxes, liberating large amounts of C from soils. Evidence of warming-induced …

Soil respiration (R s) is the most important source of carbon dioxide emissions from soil to
atmosphere. However, it is unclear what the interactive response of R s would be to …

Fragmented forests generate a variety of forest edges, leading to microclimates in the edge
zones that differ from those in the forest interior. Understanding microclimatic variation is an …
