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...

Coupled of carbon and nitrogen mineralization in rhizosphere soils along a temperate forest altitudinal gradient
Rhizosphere is a hotspot for soil C and N biogeochemical cycling in terrestrial ecosystems. However, the interaction between soil C and N mineralization remain poorly understood in the rhizosphere soils. This ...

Influence of algal blooms on the efficacy of La/Al-based phoslock in the control of phosphorus release from sediment in shallow lakes: a microcosm study
One of the most significant problems in eutrophic lakes is the presence of algal blooms, which may affect phosphorus (P) inactivation agents (PIAs) in the control of P release from sediment. Therefore, in this...

Field-aged biochar decreased N2O emissions by reducing autotrophic nitrification in a sandy loam soil
A 15N tracing incubation study was carried out using a sandy loam soil without (control) and with field-aged biochar (biochar) to investigate the mechanisms underlying the effects of field-aged biochar on nitrous...

Article
Subsoil biogeochemical properties induce shifts in carbon allocation pattern and soil C dynamics in wheat
Microbial turnover processes are typically restricted by low substrate availability in the subsoil. We hypothesized that SOM decomposition increases with plant density and decreases with N fertilization: We ex...

Exotic earthworms maintain soil biodiversity by altering bottom-up effects of plants on the composition of soil microbial groups and nematode communities
Bottom-up effects of plants on soil communities can be modified by the activity of exotic earthworms, by altering resource availability for soil food webs through feeding, burrowing, and casting activities. Th...
