Soil organic matter (SOM) represents a major reservoir of stored carbon (C). However,
uncertainties regarding the composition and origin of stabilized SOM hinder the …

Soil carbon sequestration (SCS) refers to the uptake of carbon (C) containing substances
from the atmosphere and its storage in soil C pools. Soil microbial community (SMC) play a …

The soil nitrogen (N) and phosphorus (P) availability often constrains soil carbon (C) pool,
and elevated N deposition could further intensify soil P limitation, which may affect soil C …

Nitrogen (N) and phosphorus (P) availability strongly affects carbon (C) cycling and storage
in terrestrial ecosystems. Nutrient addition can increase C inputs into soil via increased …

Microbial metabolic products play a vital role in maintaining ecosystem multifunctionality,
such as soil physical structure and soil organic carbon (SOC) preservation. Afforestation is …

Warming is known to reduce soil carbon (C) stocks by promoting microbial respiration, which
is associated with the decomposition of microbial residue carbon (MRC). However, the …

The sequestration of soil organic carbon (SOC) in terrestrial ecosystems is determined by
the balance between plant-and microbial-derived carbon inputs and losses through soil …

Increasing soil carbon (C) stocks and improving soil structure are critical challenges in semi-
arid agroecosystems. Conservation tillage has been widely applied to promote aggregate …

Microbial necromass is known to be the main component of soil organic carbon (C)
sequestration. However, the contribution of microbial necromass to soil aggregates has not …

Soil microbial residues have an impact on the stability of the soil organic carbon (SOC) pool,
since they are crucial and stable sources of SOC. However, it is not clear how soil microbial …
