Mechanisms of soil organic carbon (SOC) stabilization have been widely studied due to their
relevance in the global carbon cycle. No‐till (NT) has been frequently adopted to sequester …

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 …

It is unequivocal that the increases in atmospheric carbon dioxide (CO2), methane (CH4)
and nitrous oxide (N2O) since the pre-industrial period are caused by human activities. The …

Numerous studies have demonstrated that fertilization with nutrients such as nitrogen,
phosphorus, and potassium increases plant productivity in both natural and managed …

Soil organic carbon (SOC) sequestration is a promising climate change mitigation option. In
this context, the formation of the relatively long‐lived mineral‐associated organic carbon …

Increasing soil organic carbon contents contributes to global climate change mitigation.
However, new plant inputs can enhance the mineralization of native soil organic carbon by …

Soil enzymes are crucial in mediating ecosystems' responses to environmental drivers, so
that the comprehension of their sensitivity to drivers of global change can help make …

Climate change and ensuring food security for an exponentially growing global human
population are the greatest challenges for future agriculture. Improved soil management …

Priming effect (PE) induced by inputs of fresh carbon plays crucial roles in soil organic
matter decomposition and terrestrial carbon cycling. Priming effect is considered to be …

The modification of soil organic matter (SOM) decomposition by plant carbon (C) input
(priming effect) represents a critical biogeochemical process that controls soil C dynamics …
