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 …

Water is a crucial factor controlling the fate and processing of soil organics. Water commonly
flows through the vadose zone via preferential flow pathways, resulting in nonuniform and …

Several global gross primary production (GPP) and evapotranspiration (ET) remote sensing
products exist, mainly provided by machine-learning (eg MPI-BGC) and semi-empirical (eg …

Soil respiration (Rs) is the second‐largest terrestrial carbon (C) flux. Although Rs has been
extensively studied across a broad range of biomes, there is surprisingly little consensus on …

The walls and ceiling of Altamira Cave, northern Spain, are coated with different coloured
spots (yellow, white and grey). Electron microscopy revealed that the grey spots are …

Post-fire management can have an additional impact on the ecosystem; in some cases,
even more severe than the fire. Salvage logging (SL) is a common practice in most fire …

Soil respiration (Rs), the soil‐to‐atmosphere flux of CO2, is a dominant but uncertain part of
the carbon cycle, even after decades of study. This review focuses on progress in …

Soil respiration (Rs) is the second largest carbon flux in terrestrial ecosystems and therefore
plays a crucial role in global carbon (C) cycling. This biogeochemical process is closely …

After a wildfire, moss crust develops in early post-fire stages revealing important roles
related to soil erosion prevention and increase of soil fertility. However, the post-fire …

Global wildfire activity has increased since the 1970s and is projected to intensify throughout
the 21st century. Wildfires change the composition and biodegradability of soil organic …
