Anthropogenic warming is expected to accelerate global soil organic carbon (SOC) losses
via microbial decomposition, yet, there is still no consensus on the loss magnitude. In this …

Soil enzymes are central to ecosystem processes because they mediate numerous
reactions that are essential in biogeochemical cycles. However, how soil enzyme activities …

Temperature sensitivity (Q10) of soil organic matter (SOM) decomposition is a crucial
parameter to predict the fate of soil carbon (C) under global warming. Nonetheless, the …

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 …

Climate warming affects soil carbon (C) dynamics, with possible serious consequences for
soil C stocks and atmospheric CO2 concentrations. However, the mechanisms underlying …

Microorganisms are major drivers of elemental cycling in the biosphere. Determining the
abundance of microbial functional traits involved in the transformation of nutrients, including …

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 …

Despite the valid assumption that soil microorganisms play pivotal roles in regulating soil
organic matter (SOM) decomposition, there is limited evidence on whether there is a direct …

Extracellular enzymes catalyze rate‐limiting steps in soil organic matter decomposition, and
their activities (EEAs) play a key role in determining soil respiration (SR). Both EEAs and SR …

Current consensus on global climate change predicts warming trends with more
pronounced temperature changes in winter than summer in the Northern Hemisphere at …
