Increasing plant species diversity benefits soil organic carbon (SOC) accumulation in forest ecosystems, but how microbial necromass contributes to SOC accumulation in response to …
Microbial respiration is critical for soil carbon balance and ecosystem functioning. Previous studies suggest that plant diversity influences soil microbial communities and their …

Forest floor accumulation is a key process that influences ecosystem carbon cycling. Despite evidence suggesting that tree diversity and soil carbon are positively correlated, most soil …
There is limited knowledge on how the association of trees with different mycorrhizal types shapes soil microbial communities in the context of changing tree diversity levels. We used …

Plant species diversity (PSD) benefits soil organic carbon (SOC) accumulation, but mechanisms underlying the stimulative effects of PSD on SOC pools have not been well …
Forests are ecosystems critical to understanding the global carbon budget, due to their carbon sequestration potential in both aboveground and belowground compartments …
