The soil microbiome governs biogeochemical cycling of macronutrients, micronutrients and
other elements vital for the growth of plants and animal life. Understanding and predicting …

Extreme droughts have serious impacts on the pools, fluxes and processes of terrestrial
carbon (C) and nitrogen (N) cycles. A deep understanding is necessary to explore the …

Soil organic carbon harbors three times as much carbon as Earth's atmosphere, and its
decomposition is a potentially large climate change feedback and major source of …

The crucial biogeochemical processes such as carbon and nutrient cycling are increasingly
altered at the ecosystem scale by global environmental changes. Although soil extracellular …

This review focuses on some important and challenging aspects of soil extracellular enzyme
research. We report on recent discoveries, identify key research needs and highlight 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 …

This article is an extensive collection of scientific literature related to the impact of fertilizers
on soil microbial and enzymatic activity. Due to the significance of technology in quantitative …

Positive (synergistic) and negative (trade-off) relationships among ecosystem services are
influenced by drivers of change, such as policy interventions and environmental variability …

Microbial digestive enzymes in soil and litter have been studied for over a half century, yet
the understanding of microbial enzymes as drivers of ecosystem processes remains …

Microbial communities in litter and soil are the functional link through which the tree species
occupying a site may alter rates of soil processes fundamental to nutrient cycling and carbon …
