The soil microbial carbon pump (MCP) conceptualizes a sequestration mechanism based
on the process of microbial production of a set of new organic compounds, which carry the …

Soil is a huge terrestrial carbon pool, which has higher carbon storage than the sum of
atmospheric and terrestrial vegetation carbon. Small fluctuations in soil carbon pool can …

The elevational pattern of soil microbial diversity along mountain slopes has received
considerable interest over the last decade. An increasing amount of taxonomic data on soil …

Microbial moribunds after microbial biomass turnover (microbial residues) contribute to the
formation and stabilization of soil carbon pools; however, the factors influencing their …

Soil carbon (C) stabilization has become an important topic in recent years in the context of
global climate change. Increasing evidence suggests that microbial residues represent a …

We present a comprehensive analysis of the changes in the structure and functioning of the
soil microbial communities, as well as their driving factors along the northern slope of …

The elevational diversity pattern for microorganisms has received great attention recently but
is still understudied, and phylogenetic relatedness is rarely studied for microbial elevational …

To reveal the self-coordination mechanism of the fragile ecosystem of alpine tundra, we
explored the relationship between soil microorganisms and other elements. On the alpine …

The sequestration of soil organic carbon (SOC) in terrestrial ecosystems is determined by
the balance between plant-and microbial-derived carbon inputs and losses through soil …

In the current context of climate change, the study of microbial communities along altitudinal
gradients is especially useful. Only few studies considered altitude and season at the same …
