Root exudates, as an important form of material input from plants to the soil, regulate the
carbon input and efflux of plant rhizosphere soil and play an important role in maintaining …

Abstract Background and Aims The optimal management of plant nutrition is an effective
strategy for sustainable agriculture under various conditions. Soil drying is one of the main …

Associations between soil minerals and microbially derived organic matter (often referred to
as mineral‐associated organic matter or MAOM) form a large pool of slowly cycling carbon …

As an exogenous carbon input, microplastics (MPs), especially biodegradable MPs, may
significantly disrupt soil microbial communities and soil element cycling (CNPS cycling), but …

Fungi are crucial for soil organic carbon (SOC) formation, especially for the more persistent
mineral‐associated organic C (MAOC) pool. Yet, evidence for this often overlooks …

Plant carbon (C) inputs via shoot, roots, and the associated mycorrhizal fungi are vital
drivers of soil organic C (SOC) stock and turnover. Both the amounts and proportions of …

Plant carbon (C) input via litter decomposition is essential for forming soil organic C (SOC).
Previous studies have investigated the fate of litter C through one-time litter addition, while …

Introduction The rhizosphere is the zone of soil surrounding plant roots that is directly
influenced by root exudates released by the plant, which select soil microorganisms. The …

Net rhizodeposition corresponds to the portion of living root carbon (C) that remains in the
soil after microbial processing and partial decomposition. Although it is assumed that this C …

Sustainable agricultural practices such as cover crops (CCs) and residue retention are
increasingly applied to counteract detrimental consequences on natural resources. Since …
