Abstract:: ... Termites and soil calcium carbonate are major factors in the global carbon cycle: termites by their role in decomposition of organic matter and methane production, and soil calcium carbonate by its storage of atmospheric carbon dioxide. In arid and semiarid soils, these two factors potentially come together by means of biomineralization of calcium carbonate by termites. In this study, we evaluated ...

Abstract:: ... Woody encroachment has dramatically changed land cover patterns in arid and semiarid systems (drylands) worldwide over the past 150 years. This change is known to influence bulk soil carbon (C) pools, but the implications for dynamics and stability of these pools are not well understood. Working in a Chihuahuan Desert C₄ grassland encroached by C₃ creosote bush (Larrea tridentata), we used two den ...

Abstract:: ... To clarify responses of plant and soil carbon (C) and nitrogen (N) pools in grassland ecosystem to N addition, a field experiment was performed in a grassland in Keerqin Sandy Lands, Northeast China. We investigated vegetation composition and C and N pools of plant and soil (0â30Â cm) after five consecutive years of N addition at a rate of 20Â gÂ NÂ mâ2Â yâ1. Vegetation composition and speci ...

Abstract:: ... This study investigates the influence of C3 and C4 plants, soil texture and seasonal changes on the structure and assimilation of plant-derived C of soil microbial communities. In 2012 we collected soil samples in the growing and non-growing season from a vegetation change experiment cropping herbaceous C3 and C4 plants for 6 years on two soils differing in their texture. Phospholipid fatty acids ...
