The deep soil organic carbon response to global change
Over 70% of soil organic carbon (SOC) is stored at a depth greater than 20 cm belowground.
A portion of this deep SOC actively cycles on annual to decadal timescales and is sensitive …

Climate warming alters subsoil but not topsoil carbon dynamics in alpine grassland
J Jia, Z Cao, C Liu, Z Zhang, LI Lin… - Global Change …, 2019 - Wiley Online Library
Subsoil contains more than half of soil organic carbon (SOC) globally and is conventionally
assumed to be relatively unresponsive to warming compared to the topsoil. Here, we show …

Is a drought a drought in grasslands? Productivity responses to different types of drought
Drought, defined as a marked deficiency of precipitation relative to normal, occurs as
periods of below-average precipitation or complete failure of precipitation inputs, and can be …

Warming promotes loss of subsoil carbon through accelerated degradation of plant-derived organic matter
Increasing global temperatures have the potential to stimulate decomposition and alter the
composition of soil organic matter (SOM). However, questions remain about the extent to …

Asynchronous nitrogen supply and demand produce nonlinear plant allocation responses to warming and elevated CO2
Terrestrial ecosystem responses to climate change are mediated by complex plant–soil
feedbacks that are poorly understood, but often driven by the balance of nutrient supply and …
