Biochar, a carbon (C)-rich material obtained from the thermochemical conversion of biomass
under oxygen-limited environments, has been proposed as one of the most promising …

Soil organic matter (SOM) is the largest actively cycling reservoir of terrestrial carbon (C),
and the majority of SOM in Earth's mineral soils (~ 65%) is mineral‐associated organic …

Elucidating the processes underlying the persistence of soil organic matter (SOM) is a
prerequisite for projecting soil carbon feedback to climate change. However, the potential …

Permafrost thaw can stimulate microbial decomposition and induce soil carbon (C) loss,
potentially triggering a positive C-climate feedback. However, earlier observations have …

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 …

Microbial growth and respiration are at the core of the soil carbon (C) cycle, as these
microbial physiological performances ultimately determine the fate of soil C. Microbial C use …

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 …

Abstract The Tibetan Plateau's Kobresia pastures store 2.5% of the world's soil organic
carbon (SOC). Climate change and overgrazing render their topsoils vulnerable to …

The modification of soil organic matter (SOM) decomposition by plant carbon (C) input
(priming effect) represents a critical biogeochemical process that controls soil C dynamics …

Priming plays important roles in terrestrial carbon cycling, but the patterns and drivers of
priming and its responses to nutrient addition in tropical forests remain unclear. By collecting …
