In the context of climate change and the circular economy, biochar has recently found many
applications in various sectors as a versatile and recycled material. Here, we review …

While the positive relationship between plant biodiversity and ecosystem functioning (BEF)
is well established, the extent to which this is mediated via belowground microbial …

Wetland soils are the greatest source of nitrous oxide (N2O), a critical greenhouse gas and
ozone depleter released by microbes. Yet, microbial players and processes underlying the …

Empirical evidence for the response of soil carbon cycling to the combined effects of
warming, drought and diversity loss is scarce. Microbial carbon use efficiency (CUE) plays a …

Functional genes involved in nitrogen (N) cycling regulate soil nitrification, denitrification and
N 2 O emissions. However, the general patterns and variability of N functional genes in …

The largest terrestrial carbon sink on earth is soil carbon stocks. As the climate changes, the
rate at which the Earth's climate warms depends in part on the persistence of soil organic …

The feedback of greenhouse gas emissions to climate change is vital for understanding and
predicting the impact of global warming on ecosystem functions. However, the legacy effect …

Nitrous oxide (N2O) is a potent, globally important, greenhouse gas, predominantly released
from agricultural soils during nitrogen (N) cycling. Arbuscular mycorrhizal fungi (AMF) form a …

Human intervention in agriculture, such as tillage and fertilization, could result in major
changes of N 2 O emissions that understanding the N 2 O emission mechanism is of great …

Green manure planting can reduce the intensity of soil use, while improving farmland
productivity in double-cropping systems. However, only few studies have focused on the …
