Soil organic matter (SOM) provides vital services to humanity. Its preservation and further
accrual are key to sustain food production and avoid an irreversible climate crisis. Here we …

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 …

The exchange of nutrients, energy and carbon between soil organic matter, the soil
environment, aquatic systems and the atmosphere is important for agricultural productivity …

Land surface models (LSMs) are a vital tool for understanding, projecting, and predicting the
dynamics of the land surface and its role within the Earth system, under global change …

The agricultural sector and environmental safety both work hand in hand to promote
sustainability in important issues like soil health, plant nutrition, food safety, and security …

The continuous increase of the greenhouse gas nitrous oxide (N2O) in the atmosphere due
to increasing anthropogenic nitrogen input in agriculture has become a global concern. In …

Global change is altering species distributions and thus interactions among organisms.
Organisms live in concert with thousands of other species, some beneficial, some …

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

Fungi contribute extensively to a wide range of ecosystem processes, including
decomposition of organic carbon, deposition of recalcitrant carbon, and transformations of …

Society relies on Earth system models (ESMs) to project future climate and carbon (C) cycle
feedbacks. However, the soil C response to climate change is highly uncertain in these …
