Soil pH and aridity influence distributions of branched tetraether lipids in grassland soils along an aridity transect [PDF]
Branched glycerol dialkyl glycerol tetraethers (brGDGTs) are membrane lipids of certain soil bacteria, and their relative distributions are used as a proxy for air temperature and soil pH.

Preferential degradation of leaf- vs. root-derived organic carbon in earthworm-affected soil [PDF]
Earthworms are integral parts of many ecosystems and may play a decisive role in determining whether soils function as carbon (C) sink or source. However, information on how earthworms affect the composition and stability of soil organic matter (SOM) is ...
