Vegetation restoration restructures soil sulfur allocation and sulfur-cycling functional potential in the Mu Us Sandy Land [PDF]
Frontiers in MicrobiologyVegetation restoration in semi-arid sandy ecosystems can alter soil sulfur cycling not only through changes in sulfur stocks, but also through shifts in the partitioning between organic sulfur and sulfate and their microbial regulation.

The Microbial Sulfur Cycle [PDF]
Frontiers in Microbiology, 2011 Sulfur is one example of an element whose transformation and fate in the environment are critically dependent upon microbial activities. Sulfur is the 10th most abundant element in the universe and the sixth most abundant element in microbial biomass. By virtue of its chemical properties, particularly the wide range of stable redox states, sulfur plays
