Soil invertebrate communities represent a significant fraction of global biodiversity and play
crucial roles in ecosystems. A number of human activities threaten soil communities, in …

Soil plays a significant role in controlling the global carbon (C) cycle. Studies on climate
change mitigation have focused entirely on soil organic carbon (SOC) to increase C …

Nitrogen (N) deposition-induced soil acidification has become a global problem. However,
the response patterns of soil acidification to N addition and the underlying mechanisms …

Soil amendments, including lime, biochar, industrial by-products, manure, and straw are
used to alleviate soil acidification and improve crop productivity. Quantitative insight in the …

Soil microbial communities are vital for maintaining functions of alpine wetland ecosystems,
which have been shown to be sensitive to climate change and anthropogenic disturbances …

Elevated anthropogenic nitrogen (N) deposition has greatly altered terrestrial ecosystem
functioning, threatening ecosystem health via acidification and eutrophication in temperate …

Atmospheric nitrogen (N) deposition has been shown to decrease plant species richness
along regional deposition gradients in Europe and in experimental manipulations. However …

In this perspectives paper we highlight a heretofore underused statistical method in soil
ecological research, structural equation modeling (SEM). SEM is commonly used in the …

Impacts of reactive nitrogen (N) inputs on ecosystem carbon (C) dynamics are highly
variable, and the underlying mechanisms remain unclear. Here, we proposed a new …

With continuous nitrogen (N) enrichment and sulfur (S) deposition, soil acidification has
accelerated and become a global environmental issue. However, a full understanding of the …
