Responses of microbial necromass carbon and microbial community structure to straw- and straw-derived biochar in brown earth soil of Northeast China. [PDF]
Soil microbial organisms are conducive to SOC sequestration. However, little attention has been given to the contributions of living MBC and microbial necromass carbon to the SOC pool under biochar and straw amendments.

Root Exudates Shape Soil Organic Carbon Stabilization by Controlling Microbial Necromass Formation Under Long-Term Nitrogen Fertilization. [PDF]
Soil organic carbon (SOC) stabilization is largely governed by the accumulation of microbial necromass carbon, yet how stabilization is influenced by root exudation remains poorly understood, particularly under long-term nitrogen (N) fertilization. Here,

Contrasting roles of fungal necromass and mineral preservation in influencing mineral-associated organic carbon across and within elevation bands. [PDF]
Mineral-associated organic carbon (MAOC) is a persistent fraction of soil organic carbon (SOC) that is central to long-term carbon (C) persistence and climate mitigation.

Relationship between soil microbial necromass carbon and community assembly in the forest-grassland ecotone of northern China. [PDF]
IntroductionMicrobial necromass carbon (MNC) is crucial for the turnover of soil carbon within land ecosystems. Investigating the relationship between microbial residual carbon and microbial community assembly across contrasting land-use patterns ...

Bacterial functional traits: a key driver of soil organic carbon dynamics during reductive soil disinfestation. [PDF]
Reductive soil disinfestation (RSD) significantly enhanced SOC content. However, its microbial mechanisms mediated through changes in microbial necromass carbon, particularly under different organic amendments, remain poorly understood.

Distinct Roles of Plant Residues and Microbial Necromass in Soil Organic Carbon Accumulation and Stability in the <i>Alhagi sparsifolia</i> Community. [PDF]
In desert ecosystems, deep-rooted plants like Alhagi sparsifolia contribute not only to wind prevention and sand fixation but also to the transport of carbon into deep soil layers through their root systems.

Afforestation of severely desertified land in semi-arid areas promotes soil carbon and nitrogen accumulation through microbial necromass. [PDF]
Afforestation is an important measure used to expand carbon (C) sequestration and mitigate climate change. However, the impact of soil microbial necromass on soil C and nitrogen (N) sequestration still remain unclear following afforestation of severely ...
