Open AccessSalix species and varieties affect the molecular composition and diversity of soil organic matter
Most studies of the relationships between the composition of soil organic matter and plant cover have been carried out at the plant genera level. However, they have largely overlooked the potential effects tha...

Open AccessLong-term ley and manure managements have consistent effects on microbial functional profiles and organic C groups across soils from a latitudinal gradient
Soil organic matter (SOM) is important in maintaining soil fertility and other ecosystem functions. Yet, land management in intensive agriculture has caused SOM level to decrease, with knock-on effects for soi...
