Global Climate Change Effects on Soil Microbial Biomass Stoichiometry in Alpine Ecosystems

open access: yesLand, 2022
Alpine ecosystems are sensitive to global climate change-factors, which directly or indirectly affect the soil microbial biomass stoichiometry. In this paper, we have compared the soil microbial biomass stoichiometry ratios of alpine ecosystems using the

Rapid transfer of photosynthetic carbon through the plant-soil system in differently managed grasslands [PDF]

open access: yes, 2011
Plant-soil interactions are central to short-term carbon (C) cycling through the rapid transfer of recently assimilated C from plant roots to soil biota. In grassland ecosystems, changes in C cycling are likely to be influenced by land use and management

Soil microbial diversity–biomass relationships are driven by soil carbon content across global biomes

open access: yesThe ISME Journal, 2021
The relationship between biodiversity and biomass has been a long standing debate in ecology. Soil biodiversity and biomass are essential drivers of ecosystem functions.

Sources of nitrogen for winter wheat in organic cropping systems [PDF]

open access: yes, 2013
In organic cropping systems, legumes, cover crops, residue incorporation, and manure application are used to maintain soil fertility, but the contributions of these management practices to soil nitrogen (N) supply remain obscure.

Fast-decaying tree litter reduces the temperature sensitivity of soil carbon decomposition by increasing microbial necromass carbon

open access: yesGeoderma
Improvements in stocks and stability of forest soil organic carbon can be achieved through the management of tree species. Given the long lifespan of trees and their role as the keystone species in forested ecosystems, decisions regarding tree species ...
