Grasslands store approximately one third of the global terrestrial carbon stocks and can act
as an important soil carbon sink. Recent studies show that plant diversity increases soil …

Soil organic carbon (SOC), as the largest terrestrial carbon pool, plays an important role in
global carbon (C) cycling, which may be significantly impacted by global changes such as …

Cover crops (CCs) can increase soil organic carbon (SOC) sequestration by providing
additional OC residues, recruiting beneficial soil microbiota, and improving soil aggregation …

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 …

Understanding the influence of long-term crop management practices on the soil microbial
community is critical for linking soil microbial flora with ecosystem processes such as those …

Alpine meadows in the Tibetan Plateau contain a large amount of soil organic carbon
(SOC), which is highly vulnerable to climate change and has thus been a research priority …

Mollisols contain high amounts of soil organic carbon (SOC), which is highly susceptible to
climate change; thus, climate change could indirectly influence soil aggregate stability, but …

Abstract Knowledge of soil organic matter (SOM) dynamics following deforestation or
reforestation is essential for evaluating carbon (C) budgets and cycle at regional or global …

Soil microbial carbon use efficiency (CUE) is a combination of growth and respiration, which
may respond differently to climate change depending on physical protection of soil carbon …

Soil carbon stabilization is known to depend in part on its distribution in structural
aggregates, and upon soil microbial activity within the aggregates. However, the influence of …
