Maintenance of soil health is central to agricultural sustainability and a key factor that reflects the productivity of agro ecosystems. However, at present the soil resources are under severe …
Global change is altering species distributions and thus interactions among organisms. Organisms live in concert with thousands of other species, some beneficial, some …

Humic substances (HS), a highly transformed part of non-living natural organic matter (NOM), comprise up to 70% of the soil organic matter (SOM), 50–80% of dissolved organic …
Soil microbial communities are essential for ecosystem function, but linking community composition to biogeochemical processes is challenging because of high microbial diversity …
This study explores the toxic effect of TCE at different depths of sub-surface soil and underpins microbial community-level suitable carbon (C)-sources that provided directionality …
More than 200 years ago, Alexander von Humboldt reported that tropical plant species richness decreased with increasing elevation and decreasing temperature. Surprisingly …
Carbon (C) storage in forest soils can be enhanced through increasing organic C input and decreasing soil heterotrophic respiration (RH). The inhibitory effect of biochar on RH has …

Microbial community plays critical roles in driving soil carbon (C) cycling in terrestrial ecosystems. However, we lack empirical evidence to demonstrate the role of microbial …
Soil microbial communities are the key drivers of many terrestrial biogeochemical processes. However, we currently lack a generalizable understanding of how these soil …
