Soil organic carbon (SOC), as the largest terrestrial carbon pool, plays an important role in
global carbon (C) cycling, which may be significantly impacted by global changes such as …

Global warming accompanied by precipitation changes impacts soil carbon sequestration. A
three-year field manipulation experiment with warming (+ 2° C above ambient temperature) …

Rhizosphere effects control soil biogeochemical cycling. However, quantitative assessment
of rhizosphere effects on belowground processes such as carbon and nitrogen cycling …

Soil is a key component of terrestrial ecosystems, as it provides nutrients and energy for all
terrestrial organisms and is the site of various physical, chemical, and biological processes …

The main objective of our study has been to determine the role of deadwood in the shaping
of the amount of soil organic matter fractions in mountain forest soils. For this purpose, a …

Reduced carbon assimilation by trees is often considered to lower the overall carbon sink
function of drought-stressed forests. However, soil organic carbon (SOC) stocks may …

We tested the impact of biological soil crusts (BSC) at different degrees of development on
soil formation in Polar ecosystems, specifically in two Arctic sites, Svalbard Island (Norway) …

Both altitude and vegetation are known to affect the amount and quality of soil organic matter
(SOM) and the size and activity of soil microbial biomass. However, when altitude and …

In forest ecosystems, a variety of abiotic and biotic soil forming factors drives soil organic
matter (SOM) and nutrients cycling with a profitable outcome on climate change mitigation …

In forest ecosystems, soil-plant interactions drive the physical, chemical, and biological soil
properties and, through soil organic matter cycling, control the dynamics of nutrient cycles …
