The paradigm that permafrost-affected soils show restricted mineral nitrogen (N) cycling in
favor of organic N compounds is based on the observation that net N mineralization rates in …

Nitrogen (N) availability plays multiple roles in the boreal landscape, as a limiting nutrient to
forest growth, determinant of terrestrial biodiversity, and agent of eutrophication in aquatic …

Numerous studies have demonstrated that fertilization with nutrients such as nitrogen,
phosphorus, and potassium increases plant productivity in both natural and managed …

Microbial elements use efficiencies are the important parameters in regulating soil carbon
(C) and nitrogen (N) mineralization processes. Microbial C use efficiency (CUE) describes …

The status of plant and microbial nutrient limitation have profound impacts on ecosystem
carbon cycle in permafrost areas, which store large amounts of carbon and experience …

Land application of farmyard manure (FYM) is a widespread agronomic practice used to
enhance soil fertility, but its long-term effects on soil microbial carbon (C) and nitrogen (N) …

Priming effect (PE) induced by inputs of fresh carbon plays crucial roles in soil organic
matter decomposition and terrestrial carbon cycling. Priming effect is considered to be …

Input of labile carbon may accelerate the decomposition of existing soil organic matter
(priming effect), with the priming intensity depending on changes in soil nitrogen availability …

Soil organic matter (SOM) is the dominant reservoir of terrestrial organic carbon and
nitrogen, and microbial necromass represents a primary input to it. However, knowledge of …

A substantial portion of soil organic matter (SOM) is of microbial origin. The efficiency with
which soil microorganisms can convert their substrate carbon (C) into biomass, compared to …
