Climate change has been partially mitigated by an increasing net land carbon sink in the
terrestrial biosphere; understanding the processes that drive this sink is thus 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 …

Applying organic and inorganic fertilizers together could sustainably increase crop yields.
The effects of long-term organic fertilizer substitution on soil microbial community structure …

Global changes can alter plant inputs from both above‐and belowground, which, thus, may
differently affect soil carbon and microbial communities. However, the general patterns of …

Soil phosphorus (P) availability is critical to plant productivity in many terrestrial ecosystems.
How soil P availability responds to changes in plant diversity remains uncertain, despite the …

Whether and how to synchronously regulate stream water nitrogen (N) and phosphorus (P)
concentrations and ratios is a major challenge for sustainable aquatic functions. Soil carbon …

Unprecedented nitrogen (N) inputs into terrestrial ecosystems have profoundly altered soil N
cycling. Ammonia oxidizers and denitrifiers are the main producers of nitrous oxide (N2O) …

Soil microbiology has entered into the big data era, but the challenges in bridging laboratory‐
, field‐, and model‐based studies of ecosystem functions still remain. Indeed, the limitation …

Rising atmospheric CO2 has stimulated plant productivity, with terrestrial ecosystems
currently absorbing nearly one-third of anthropogenic CO2 emissions. Increases in …

Crop residues are of crucial importance to maintain or even increase soil carbon stocks and
fertility, and thereby to address the global challenge of climate change mitigation. However …
