Background and aims Litter decomposition is a fundamental process of biogeochemical cycles and particularly sensitive to global change. However, the overall effects of warming …
Land use changes (LUC) for the expansion of bioenergy cropping have caused consistent reductions in soil organic carbon (SOC) stocks in tropical soils. This study addresses the …
Ungulates have become abundant in many temperate forests, shifting tree species composition by browsing and altering soil physical conditions by trampling. Whether these …
A complex combination of environmental, biological, chemical, and physical properties and processes determine soil biodiversity and its relationship to biogeochemical functions and …
Soil invertebrates (ie, soil fauna) are important drivers of many key processes in soils including soil aggregate formation, water retention, and soil organic matter transformation …
