Forests influence climate and mitigate global change through the storage of carbon in soils.
In turn, these complex ecosystems face important challenges, including increases in carbon …

In the Anthropocene, in which we now live, climate change is impacting most life on Earth.
Microorganisms support the existence of all higher trophic life forms. To understand how …

Executive summary Land and climate interact in complex ways through changes in forcing
and multiple biophysical and biogeochemical feedbacks across different spatial and …

Many feedback loops significantly increase warming due to greenhouse gas emissions.
However, not all of these feedbacks are fully accounted for in climate models. Thus …

BACKGROUND Soil is the largest repository of organic matter on land, storing~ 1500 Gt
carbon, which is at least as much as the vegetation (~ 560 Gt) and atmosphere (~ 750 Gt) …

Plant microbiome (or phytomicrobiome) engineering (PME) is an anticipated untapped
alternative strategy that could be exploited for plant growth, health and productivity under …

Tropical soils contain one-third of the carbon stored in soils globally, so destabilization of
soil organic matter caused by the warming predicted for tropical regions this century could …

Anthropogenic warming is expected to accelerate global soil organic carbon (SOC) losses
via microbial decomposition, yet, there is still no consensus on the loss magnitude. In this …

Soil microorganisms are key to biological diversity and many ecosystem processes in
terrestrial ecosystems. Despite the current alarming loss of plant diversity, it is unclear how …

Soil microbes comprise a large portion of the genetic diversity on Earth and influence a large
number of important ecosystem processes. Increasing atmospheric nitrogen (N) deposition …
