Abstract. The continuous expansion of saline-alkali lands under climate change threatens food security and reduces soil carbon stocks. A common mitigation

The amount of energy that soil microbes can obtain from oxidizing available organic carbon is limited, which keeps many of them dormant and restricts their growth, necromass production and ultimately ...

The long-term impacts of mineral fertilization on soil microbial communities remains unclear. Using data from global long-term agricultural experiments, this study shows that mineral fertilization lea...

Stabilized soil organic carbon totals 1304 pentagrams carbon globally about half of total soil carbon concentrated in wetlands and cold regions shown by mapping upper one-meter soils using georeferenc...

Ecosystem respiration (ER) exhibits pronounced thermal hysteresis, responding asymmetrically to seasonal warming and cooling. Two distinct patterns emerge: clockwise hysteresis (higher ER during warm...

Ants are common soil engineers that influence carbon cycling. This meta-analysis shows that ants increase soil organic carbon storage by 22% and CO2 emissions by 84%, with effects shaped by speci...

The amount of energy that soil microbes can obtain from oxidizing available organic carbon is limited, which keeps many of them dormant and restricts their growth, necromass production and ultimately ...

When running a lab we do not think about calamities, since they are rare events for which we cannot plan while we are busy with the day-to-day management and intellectual challenges of a research lab....
