Abstract:
... Soil net nitrogen (N) mineralisation, the difference between organic nitrogen mineralisation and mineral nitrogen immobilisation, changes with elevation, thereby determining plant productivity and soil N cycling along elevation gradients. However, it has yet to be established how different microbial functional genes influence the rate of soil net N mineralisation along such gradients. To address t ...

Abstract:
... Soil respiration (RS), the soil‐to‐atmosphere CO₂ flux that is a major component of the global carbon cycle, is strongly influenced by local soil temperature (Tₛₒᵢₗ) and water content (SWC). Regional to global‐scale RS modelling thus requires this information at local scales, but few high‐quality, wall‐to‐wall (global) Tₛₒᵢₗ and SWC data exist. As a result, such modelling efforts commonly use air ...

To evaluate the effects of warming on soil microbial community seasonal dynamics, an in situ experiment was conducted in a natural forest and a dragon spruce plantation in the subalpine region of the eastern Tibetan Plateau. Open‐top chambers (OTCs) ...

Abstract:

Electromagnetic induction (EMI) measurements (σb*) are widely used for the survey of several soil attributes, among which basic properties such as salinity (σₑ), water content (θw), clay (wc), organic matter (wₒₘ) and bulk density (ρb) stand out. In usual practice, purely empirical models relating one of these properties to σb* are calibrated at selected sites. However, this calibration is site an ...

There is no consensus, however, as to whether or not the decomposition of recalcitrant soil C is as sensitive to temperature as is that of labile soil C. Soil C is stabilized by three mechanisms: chemical recalcitrance, m ...
