The incorporation of plant-derived biomass by microorganisms into deceased microbial
biomass, ie, a “microbial carbon pump”, is essential for forming a soil carbon (C) pool …

Afforestation can modify terrestrial carbon (C) pools, some of which are primarily fixed in the
plant dead biomass and then incorporated into the microbial dead biomass. Soil …

Secondary succession has a major influence on vegetation and soil biogeochemical
processes, however, the dynamics of microbial metabolic activity and the driving factors …

Fertilization will cause changes in crop growth, soil microbial community and multiple
ecosystem functions, but it is unclear whether and how the optimal productivity obtained by …

Microbial necromass is an important part of soil organic carbon (SOC), but the changes in its
contribution along elevational gradients and soil types are poorly understood. At two sites …

With ongoing climate change, aridity is increasing worldwide, affecting biodiversity and
ecosystem function in drylands. However, how the depth-profile microbial community …

Physically or biochemically protected soil organic carbon (SOC) can dampen microbial
decomposition by reducing substrate availability, enhancing the stability of SOC. However …

To elucidate the effects of soil acidity influenced by 10 years of application of enriched
compost (ECM), biofertilizers, and chemical fertilizers in integration on soil microbial activity …

Soil enzymes strongly affect soil organic carbon (SOC) and nitrogen (TN) storage. However,
few studies have focused on their relationships in aggregates, especially in sodic-alkali …

As a matter of co-varying environmental and biogeochemical factors, controversy remains
regarding the altitudinal patterns in soil organic carbon (SOC) and soil total nitrogen (STN) …
