Review of mechanisms and quantification of priming effects

Y Kuzyakov, JK Friedel, K Stahr - Soil Biology and Biochemistry, 2000 - Elsevier
Priming effects are strong short-term changes in the turnover of soil organic matter caused
by comparatively moderate treatments of the soil. In the course of priming effects large …

Dissolved organic matter: biogeochemistry, dynamics, and environmental significance in soils

NS Bolan, DC Adriano, A Kunhikrishnan, T James… - Advances in …, 2011 - Elsevier
Dissolved organic matter (DOM) is defined as the organic matter fraction in solution that

Effects of drying–rewetting frequency on soil carbon and nitrogen transformations

N Fierer, JP Schimel - Soil Biology and Biochemistry, 2002 - Elsevier
Soil drying and rewetting impose a significant stress on the soil microbial community. While
wetting events are common in most environments, the short and long-term effects of soil …

Influence of dry–wet cycles on the interrelationship between aggregate, particulate organic matter, and microbial community dynamics

K Denef, J Six, H Bossuyt, SD Frey, ET Elliott… - Soil Biology and …, 2001 - Elsevier
Aggregate dynamics and their relationship to the microbial community have been suggested
as key factors controlling SOM dynamics. Dry–wet (DW) cycles are thought to enhance …

A proposed mechanism for the pulse in carbon dioxide production commonly observed following the rapid rewetting of a dry soil

N Fierer, JP Schimel - Soil Science Society of America Journal, 2003 - Wiley Online Library
The rapid rewetting of a dry soil often yields a pulse in soil CO2 production that persists for 2
to 6 d. This phenomenon is a common occurrence in surface soils, yet the mechanism …

Influence of drying–rewetting frequency on soil bacterial community structure

N Fierer, JP Schimel, PA Holden - Microbial ecology, 2003 - Springer
Soil drying and rewetting represents a common physiological stress for the microbial
communities residing in surface soils. A drying–rewetting cycle may induce lysis in a …

What do we know about soil carbon destabilization?

VL Bailey, CH Pries, K Lajtha - Environmental Research Letters, 2019 - iopscience.iop.org
Most empirical and modeling research on soil carbon (C) dynamics has focused on those
processes that control and promote C stabilization. However, we lack a strong …
