Microbial processes have a central role in the global fluxes of the key biogenic greenhouse
gases (carbon dioxide, methane and nitrous oxide) and are likely to respond rapidly to …

Soils are hotspots of diversity and sustain many globally important functions. Here we focus
on the most burning issue: how to keep soils as carbon sinks while maintaining their …

Terrestrial ecosystems remove about 30 per cent of the carbon dioxide (CO2) emitted by
human activities each year, yet the persistence of this carbon sink depends partly on how …

Species‐rich plant communities have been shown to be more productive and to exhibit
increased long‐term soil organic carbon (SOC) storage. Soil microorganisms are central to …

Direct quantification of terrestrial biosphere responses to global change is crucial for
projections of future climate change in Earth system models. Here, we synthesized …

Plants buffer increasing atmospheric carbon dioxide (CO2) concentrations through
enhanced growth, but the question whether nitrogen availability constrains the magnitude of …

摘要从牧草生长, 种群, 群落, 土壤和生态系统5 个方面分析了放牧的作用, 机理与途径.
放牧改变牧草的物质与能量分配格局, 多途径地诱导牧草的补偿性生长, 取决于放牧制度等因素 …

While there is an emerging view that roots and their associated microbes actively alter
resource availability and soil organic matter (SOM) decomposition, the ecosystem …

Rhizosphere priming is the change in decomposition of soil organic matter (SOM) caused by
root activity. Rhizosphere priming plays a crucial role in soil carbon (C) dynamics and their …

Soil respiration is the primary path by which CO 2 fixed by land plants returns to the
atmosphere. Estimated at approximately 75× 10 15 gC/yr, this large natural flux is likely to …
