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 organic matter of living plants is the precursor material of the organic matter stored in
terrestrial soil ecosystems. Although a great deal of knowledge exists on the carbon turnover …

Plant communities strongly influence soil microbial communities and, in turn, soil carbon (C)
cycling. Microbial carbon use efficiency (CUE) is an important parameter for predicting soil C …

Microorganisms are critical in mediating carbon (C) and nitrogen (N) cycling processes in
soils. Yet, it has long been debated whether the processes underlying biogeochemical …

Mineral stabilization of soil organic matter is an important regulator of the global carbon (C)
cycle. However, the vulnerability of mineral-stabilized organic matter (OM) to climate change …

Understanding the dynamics of soil microbial communities responsible for soil element
cycling is vital to understanding organic amendments' mechanisms in agricultural soil …

Microbial elements use efficiencies are the important parameters in regulating soil carbon
(C) and nitrogen (N) mineralization processes. Microbial C use efficiency (CUE) describes …

Microbial residual carbon (MRC) plays an important role in maintaining soil carbon stability
and is therefore a focus of soil organic carbon (SOC) estimation. However, the global pattern …

Soil microbial carbon use efficiency (CUE) is a crucial parameter that can be used to
evaluate the partitioning of soil carbon (C) between microbial growth and respiration …

The soil microbial carbon pump (MCP) is increasingly acknowledged as being directly
linked to soil organic carbon (SOC) accumulation and stability. Given the close coupling of …
