Responses of abiotic, microbial and plant phosphorus indicators to experimental warming in forests: a forest-only meta-analysis

Ecosystem‐Dependent Responses of Microbial Necromass Carbon to Warming Are Governed by the Balance Between Necromass Formation and Decomposition

Microbial necromass carbon (MNC) is increasingly recognized as a major contributor to persistent soil organic carbon (SOC), yet its response to climate warming and the underlying regulatory mechanisms remain poorly understood. Here, we conducted a global meta‐analysis to assess how total MNC, fungal necromass carbon (F...

Five-Year Nitrogen Addition Alters Surface Mineral Soil Carbon Status and Respiration Partitioning in an Alpine Coniferous Forest

Atmospheric nitrogen (N) deposition is increasing N inputs to forests, but consequences for soil carbon (C) status and respiration partitioning remain uncertain. We conducted a five-year field N-addition experiment in an alpine coniferous forest in Xizang, China. We measured post-treatment soil properties, extracellula...

Nitrogen deposition does not alter the temperate forest soil carbon pool: A 14-y experiment on varied nitrogen fertilization

Soil carbon (C) pools in nitrogen-limited temperate forests are critical to the global C cycle, but there are no long-term experiments examining soil C, with various nitrogen (N) forms. Here, a 14-y experiment (100 kg N ha−1 y−1), with added N simulating atmospheric deposition proportions (~70% inorganic, ~30% organic)...

Depth-dependent differentiation of plant- and microbial-derived carbon formation pathways drives soil organic carbon responses to straw incorporation and asymmetric warming in paddy soils

Responses of Soil Respiration to Nitrogen Addition Across Different Habitats Induced by Lake Shrinkage

Soil respiration in lakeshore wetlands may vary with nitrogen addition and habitat differences associated with lake shrinkage, yet the responses of its components remain unclear. A controlled experiment at Daihai Lake was used to compare growing-season morning total soil respiration (Rs), autotrophic respiration (Ra),...

Leaf Hydraulic Conductance Mediates the Effect of Precipitation on Leaf Nutrients in Subtropical Forests.

Precipitation will increase in some regions and decrease in others. These changes can alter plant nutrient status, and consequently, impact the terrestrial carbon cycle. However, the ecological and physiological mechanisms underlying plant nutrient responses to changes in precipitation remain poorly understood. Here, w...
