We discovered distinct pH controls on microbial mechanisms of carbon accumulation. Land use intensification in low-pH soils that increased the pH above a threshold (~6.2) leads to carbon loss through increased decomposition, following alleviation of acid retardation of microbial growth. However, loss ...
AcidobacteriaceaeandAnaerolineaceaerepresented the dominant taxa in dryland andpaddy soils, respectively. Furthermore, the results of redundancy analysis andstructural equation modelingshowed that land use driven change insoil organic carbonaffected the fate ofsoil pollutants, and constructed soilmicrobial ...
Land cover change can affect soil organic carbon (SOC) concentrations in both top- and subsoils. Here, we propose to implement emerging machine learning (ML) techniques to predict SOC concentrations in the soil profile (0–300 cm). Specifically, we assessed the use of the newly developed ligh...
Changes in land use have an impact on ecosystem services by affecting soil quality. Thus, soil quality assessment using the soil quality index (SQI) can help better understand the LUC (land use change) impact on soil health. Methods This study was established to explore the soil quality of t...

(above-ground biomass of live trees and associated carbon stocks (AGC), below-ground carbon stocks (BGC), herbaceous plant carbon, soil organic carbon, plant species composition and diversity) has changed over two decades following land use/land cover (LULC) class changes in the LCF ecosystem ...
National monitoring programmes have often identified that soils under different land use and land management regimes harbour differing soil communities [1, 2]. In a limited number of cases the primary drivers of this variation have been identified, such as the strong influence of soil pH on bacter...
Soil viruses remain understudied when compared to virus found in aquatic ecosystems. Here, we investigate the ecological patterns of soil viral communities across various land use types encompassing forest, agricultural, and urban soil in Xiamen, China.
Thus, land use (arable, cut grassland, grazed grassland or woodland), soil pH, N fertilizer inputs and form of N (NH 4 or NO 3 ) all have marked and interacting effects on the extent to which aerobic soil acts as a sink for CH 4 . The mechanisms through which the factors operate ...
