The priming effect (PE) is a key mechanism contributing to the carbon balance of the soil
ecosystem. Almost 100 years of research since its discovery in 1926 have led to a rich body …

Biogeochemical simulation models are important tools for describing and quantifying the
contribution of agricultural systems to C sequestration and GHG source/sink status. The …

The sensitivity of soil microbial respiration to warming (Q 10) remains a major source of
uncertainty surrounding the projections of soil carbon emissions to the atmosphere as the …

Biodegradable plastic is considered one of the most promising alternatives to agricultural
mulch. However, the impact of biodegradable microplastics on agricultural ecosystems is …

Stochastic processes can play an important role in microbial community assembly. Dispersal
limitation is one process that can increase stochasticity and obscure relationships between …

Recently, an increasing number of studies use ecoenzymatic stoichiometry for determining
nutritional status or nutrient limitations of microbes. According to the ecoenzymatic …

Organic matter constitutes a key reservoir in global elemental cycles. However, our
understanding of the dynamics of organic matter and its accumulation remains incomplete …

Subsoils contain> 50% of soil organic carbon (SOC) globally yet remain under‐investigated
in terms of their response to climate changes. Recent evidence suggests that warmer, drier …

Microbiomes can aid in the protection of hosts from infection and disease, but the
mechanisms underpinning these functions in complex environmental systems remain …

Biodegradable polymer-coated controlled-release fertilizers (PC-CRFs) are essential means
to reduce cost, improve marketability, conserve land fertility, achieve high crop yields and …
