Grassland soils are climate-dependent ecosystems that have a significant greenhouse gas
mitigating function through their ability to store large amounts of carbon (C). However, what …

Carbon is an essential element of life on earth. Since the evolution of mankind, human
beings have exerted a substantial impact on carbon distribution in the various geo-habitats …

Rapid climate change and intensified human activities have resulted in water table lowering
(WTL) and enhanced nitrogen (N) deposition in Tibetan alpine wetlands. These changes …

Grassland has great potential for carbon sequestration; however, the relationship between
carbon storage (CS) and greenhouse gas (GHG) budget and their influencing factors in the …

Gas concentrations and isotopic signatures can unveil microbial metabolisms and their
responses to environmental changes in soil. Currently, few methods measure in situ soil …

Aims Methanotrophic bacteria drive upland soil methane (CH 4) uptake. Land-use change
often affects their activity, but the mechanisms involved are not well understood. We studied …

Soil microorganisms play a crucial role in maintaining major biogeochemical/nutrient cycle,
soil quality, and productivity. Hence, the understanding of soil microbial community structure …

Conservation Agriculture (CA) alters soil properties and microbial processes compared to
conventional agriculture. These changes can affect soil-atmosphere greenhouse gas (GHG) …

Methane and nitrous oxide gases are significantly more potent in their ability to create a
greenhouse effect than CO 2. Grazing lands can either be a sink or source of GHG …

Methane is the second greenhouse gas which is only lower than carbon dioxide in the
atmosphere. Since methanotrophic bacteria contains the unique enzymes of methane …
