Soil organic carbon (SOC) is a valuable resource for mediating global climate change and
securing food production. Despite an alarming rate of global plant diversity loss …

Agricultural and industrial activities have increased atmospheric nitrogen (N) deposition to
ecosystems worldwide. N deposition can stimulate plant growth and soil carbon (C) input …

Understanding how N addition status (ie, duration, rate, and form of N addition) impacts
carbon (C) cycling has great implications for C storage prediction and grassland …

Carbon and nitrogen are the essential elements constituting living organisms and are
closely coupled during biogeochemical cycles. Due to the atmospheric nitrogen deposition …

Grazing by mammalian herbivores can be a climate mitigation strategy as it influences the
size and stability of a large soil carbon (soil-C) pool (more than 500 Pg C in the world's …

Humans have dramatically increased the deposition and availability of nutrients, such as
nitrogen (N), worldwide. Soil organic matter (SOM) is a significant global reservoir of carbon …

Aims Intercropping increases aboveground and belowground crop productivity, suggesting
potential for carbon sequestration. Here we determined whether intercropping affects …

Carbon storage by ecosystems is valuable for climate protection. Biodiversity conservation
may help increase carbon storage, but the value of this influence has been difficult to …

Plant diversity can increase biomass production in plot‐scale studies, but applying these
results to ecosystem carbon (C) storage at larger spatial and temporal scales remains …

Whether the terrestrial biosphere will continue to act as a net carbon (C) sink in the face of
multiple global changes is questionable. A key uncertainty is whether increases in plant C …
