While aboveground biodiversity has been widely studied, how microbial biodiversity
responds to increasing nitrogen (N) deposition is still unclear. Here we conducted a meta …

Anthropogenic nitrogen (N) deposition is expected to increase substantially and
continuously in the future. Soil N availability regulates microbial communities and the …

Microbial growth and respiration are at the core of the soil carbon (C) cycle, as these
microbial physiological performances ultimately determine the fate of soil C. Microbial C use …

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

The continuing nitrogen (N) deposition observed worldwide alters ecosystem nutrient
cycling and ecosystem functioning. Litter decomposition is a key process contributing to …

Despite the essential role of litter decomposition in carbon (C) and nutrient cycle in terrestrial
ecosystems, some uncertainties remain about how this fundamental process is affected by …

The strategies of substituting inorganic fertilizers with organic fertilizers have been shown to
significantly impact the dynamics of soil organic carbon (SOC) combating soil degradation …

Elucidating the effects of atmospheric nitrogen (N) deposition on fine root dynamics and the
potential underlying mechanisms is required to understand the changes in belowground …

The extent to which long-term application of mineral fertilizers regulates the quantity, quality,
and stability of soil organic matter (SOM) in soil matrices remains unclear. By combining four …

Manipulating microorganisms to increase soil organic carbon (SOC) in croplands remains a
challenge. Soil microbes are important drivers of SOC sequestration, especially via their …
