Mineral-associated organic carbon predicts the variations in microbial biomass and specific enzyme activities in a subtropical forest

Geoderma, 2023
Tropical and subtropical forests are critical in global carbon budgets. Although separating soil organic carbon (SOC) into particulate organic carbon (POC) and mineral-associated organic carbon (MAOC) advances our understanding of SOC sequestration, how ...

Drivers and trends of global soil microbial carbon over two decades

Nature Communications, 2022
Soil microorganisms are central to sustain soil functions and services, like carbon and nutrient cycling. Currently, we only have a limited understanding of the spatial-temporal dynamics of soil microorganisms, restricting our ability to assess long-term

Soil microbial respiration adapts to higher and longer warming experiments at the global scale

Environmental Research Letters, 2023
Warming can affect soil microbial respiration by changing microbial biomass and community composition. The responses of soil microbial respiration to warming under experimental conditions are also related to background conditions and the experimental ...

Microbial responses to doses of cover plant straw in cerrado piauiense oxisol

Bioscience Journal, 2020
Carbon and nitrogen from the soil microbial biomass play a significant role in the rotation of C and N, and promote nutrient cycling. Thus, the objective of this study was to evaluate changes in the soil microbial biomass with growing doses of cover ...
