Soil organic carbon performs a number of functions in ecosystems and it is clear that
microbial communities play important roles in land–atmosphere carbon (C) exchange and …

Microorganisms perform most decomposition on Earth, mediating carbon (C) loss from
ecosystems, and thereby influencing climate. Yet, how variation in the identity and …

Empirical evidence for the response of soil carbon cycling to the combined effects of
warming, drought and diversity loss is scarce. Microbial carbon use efficiency (CUE) plays a …

Soil microorganisms, by actively participating in the decomposition and transformation of
organic matter through diverse metabolic pathways, play a pivotal role in carbon cycling …

There is considerable interest in understanding the biological mechanisms that regulate
carbon exchanges between the land and atmosphere, and how these exchanges respond to …

Numerous studies have demonstrated that fertilization with nutrients such as nitrogen,
phosphorus, and potassium increases plant productivity in both natural and managed …

Long‐term carbon (C) cycle feedbacks to climate depend on the future dynamics of soil
organic carbon (SOC). Current models show low predictive accuracy at simulating …

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 …

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 …

Urban greenspaces support multiple nature-based services, many of which depend on the
amount of soil carbon (C). Yet, the environmental drivers of soil C and its sensitivity to …
