    Different responses of priming effects in long-term nitrogen- and phosphorus-fertilized soils to exogenous carbon inputs

    Long-term nitrogen (N) and phosphorus (P) fertilization could immensely alter plant-soil-microbial properties, thereby impacting the priming effect (PE). However, previous studies mostly simulated PE responses...

    Precipitation and land use alter soil respiration in an Inner Mongolian grassland

    Grasslands are facing the threat of climate change and intensive land use. Soil respiration (Rs) in grassland ecosystems can be potentially altered by changes in precipitation and land use. We aimed to quantify t...

    Responses of soil carbon dynamics to precipitation and land use in an Inner Mongolian grassland

    Grasslands hold one of the most important soil carbon stocks in the world, which is vulnerable to climate change (i.e. precipitation) and human disturbance (i.e. land-use). This study aimed to investigate resp...

    Resistant soil organic carbon is more vulnerable to priming by root exudate fractions than relatively active soil organic carbon

    This study aimed to explore the mechanisms of the priming effect (PE) induced by root exudates on soil carbon pools at different stages of decomposition.

    Long-term bare fallow soil reveals the temperature sensitivity of priming effect of the relatively stabilized soil organic matter

    Priming effect (PE) plays an important role in modifying the decomposition of soil organic matter (SOM), but large uncertainties remain in the temperature effect on PE mainly due to the variation in SOM stabil...

    Inconsistent responses of soil microbial community structure and enzyme activity to nitrogen and phosphorus additions in two tropical forests

    Soil microorganisms play an important role in biogeochemical cycles in terrestrial ecosystems. Increasing nitrogen (N) and phosphorus (P) deposition are likely to regulate microbial growth by altering soil nut...

    Changes of soil organic matter stability along altitudinal gradients in Tibetan alpine grassland

    Changes of soil organic matter (SOM) stability in alpine ecosystems can alter carbon release from the soil and consequently feed back to climate change. We sought to explore the altitudinal patterns of SOM sta...

    13C isotope fractionation during rhizosphere respiration of C3 and C4 plants

    Stable carbon isotopes are used extensively to partition total soil CO2 efflux into root-derived rhizosphere respiration or autotrophic respiration and soil-derived heterotrophic respiration. However, it remains ...
