Agriculture is a multifarious interface between plants and associated microorganisms. In
contemporary agriculture, emphasis is being given to environmentally friendly approaches …

Paddy soils make up the largest anthropogenic wetlands on earth. They may originate from
any type of soil in pedological terms, but are highly modified by anthropogenic activities. The …

Moisture response functions for soil microbial carbon (C) mineralization remain a critical
uncertainty for predicting ecosystem-climate feedbacks. Theory and models posit that C …

Methane emission by soils results from antagonistic but correlated microbial activities.
Methane is produced in the anaerobic zones of submerged soils by methanogens and is …

The rewetting of dry soils and the thawing of frozen soils are short-term, transitional
phenomena in terms of hydrology and the thermodynamics of soil systems. The impact of …

Rice is a main staple food for roughly half of the world's population, but rice agriculture is
also a main source of anthropogenic greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions. Many studies have …

Rice agriculture feeds about a third of the world's population. However, rice fields are also
an important source in the global budget of the greenhouse gas methane. The emission of …

This review examines the interactions among physical, chemical, and biological factors
responsible for methane (CH4) emission from natural wetlands. Methane is a chemically …

Carbon and Nitrogen in the Terrestrial Environment is a comprehensive, interdisciplinary
description of C and N fluxes between the atmosphere and the terrestrial biosphere; issues …

Flooding and desiccation of soil environments mainly affect the availability of water and
oxygen. While water is necessary for all life, oxygen is required for aerobic microorganisms …
