Minerals and organic matter (OM) may form intricate associations via myriad interactions. In
soils, the associations of OM with mineral surfaces are mainly investigated because of their …

The boreal forests of Fennoscandia are largely dominated by Norway spruce and Scots
pine. Conifer monocultures have been favoured in forest management during the last …

Intensive agriculture and urbanization have led to the excessive and repeated input of
nitrogen (N) into soil and further increased the amount of nitrate (NO 3−) leaching into …

The temperature sensitivity (Q 10) of soil respiration (Rs) is crucial to assess the carbon (C)
budget of terrestrial ecosystems under global warming. The Q 10 changes along a climatic …

Despite that dissolved organic matter (DOM) and water-extractable organic matter (WEOM)
represent only a small part of soil organic matter, they appear to be involved in many soil …

The knowledge of tree species effects on soil C and N pools is scarce, particularly for
European deciduous tree species. We studied forest floor and mineral soil carbon and …

The study was conducted to determine whether short-term incorporation of organic manures
and biofertilizers influence biochemical and microbial variables reflecting soil quality. For the …

The fate of terrestrially-derived dissolved organic carbon (DOC) is important to carbon (C)
cycling in both terrestrial and aquatic environments, and recent evidence suggests that …

It is well known that carbon storage capacity of forests will change in response to
management practices such as fertilization. However, the influence of fertilization on …

We examined the effects of N fertilization on forest soil fungal and bacterial biomass at three
long-term experiments in New England (Harvard Forest, MA; Mt. Ascutney, VT; Bear Brook …
