Carbon (C) metabolism is at the core of ecosystem function. Decomposers play a critical role
in this metabolism as they drive soil C cycle by mineralizing organic matter to CO2. Their …

Mangroves are among the most well described and widely studied wetland communities in
the world. The greatest threats to mangrove persistence are deforestation and other …

Managing soil organic matter (SOM) stocks to address global change challenges requires
well‐substantiated knowledge of SOM behavior that can be clearly communicated between …

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 …

In this re-evaluation of our 10-year old paper on priming effects, I have considered the latest
studies and tried to identify the most important needs for future research. Recent …

Fresh waters are particularly vulnerable to climate change because (i) many species within
these fragmented habitats have limited abilities to disperse as the environment changes;(ii) …

This study examined the literature in ISI Web of Science to identify the effects that the main
drivers of global change have on the nutrient concentrations and C: N: P stoichiometry of …

Lignin is a polymer of phenylpropanoid compounds formed through a complex biosynthesis
route, represented by a metabolic grid for which most of the genes involved have been …

Agricultural lands occupy 37% of the earth's land surface. Agriculture accounts for 52 and
84% of global anthropogenic methane and nitrous oxide emissions. Agricultural soils may …

Nitrogen (N) and phosphorus (P) availability limit plant growth in most terrestrial ecosystems.
This review examines how variation in the relative availability of N and P, as reflected by N …
