Effects of climate change on decomposition of soil organic matter in a boreal ecosystem.P. VerburgN. van Breemen
effects of climate change on this storage is helpful to the scientific management of forest carbon sink,and to the feasible options for climate change mitigation.This paper summarized the research progress about the distribution of organic carbon storage in forest soils,and the effects of elevated ...
We explore plant genetic effects on soil function in the context of climate change, and selection by soils, soil biota and plant-soil feedbacks. We propose categories of genetically-based plant traits that should be prioritized in research on genetic-based effects on soil processes including plant ...
Climate change results in new agro-ecological environments worldwide, with increasing risk for production safety in many regions. This Special Issue, “Effects of Climate Change on Dry Farming Systems”, aims to publish research articles that contribute to a better understanding of the interactions of...
Climate affects the quantity of soil moisture within the surface of the earth and this is obtained by affecting the amount of radon flux density escaping from the land surface. This chapter contains the evaluation of climate change conditions as it affec
Background/Question/Methods Climate change is predicted to have significant effects on dryland ecosystems, yet our understanding and predictive capacity regarding climate change affects on biological soil crusts (biocrusts) remains notably poor. Due to the global extent of biocrust communities and to thei...

A statistical analysis of data from global surveys reveals that soils react to the number of stressors as well as to the individual stressor types. Moreover, the increasing number of stressors above a critical threshold reduces soil biodiversity and impe
