Background An acceleration of model-data synthesis activities has leveraged many
terrestrial carbon datasets, but utilization of soil respiration (RS) data has not kept pace …

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 …

Despite decades of research, how climate warming alters the global flux of soil respiration is
still poorly characterized. Here, we use meta‐analysis to synthesize 202 soil respiration …

Current carbon cycle-climate models predict that future soil carbon storage will be
determined by the balance between CO 2 fertilization and warming. However, it is uncertain …

Accurate representation of soil organic matter (SOM) dynamics in Earth system models is
critical for future climate prediction, yet large uncertainties exist regarding how, and to what …

Soil microbial biomass is a key source of soil organic carbon (SOC), and the increasing
proportion of microbially derived SOC is thought to drive the enrichment of 13 C during SOC …

Tropical and subtropical forests represent the largest terrestrial carbon pool. Elucidating the
carbon sources for soil microbial respiration (Rm) in tropical and subtropical forests is of …

Abstract The deep soil,> 1 m, harbors a substantial share of the global microbial biomass.
Currently, it is not known whether microbial activity several meters below the surface is …

Tropical forests account for over 50% of the global terrestrial carbon sink, but climate change
threatens to alter the carbon balance of these ecosystems. We show that warming and …

In the wake of climate change, extreme events such as heatwaves are considered to be key
players in the terrestrial biosphere. In the past decades, the frequency and severity of …
