Plant roots can significantly influence soil organic carbon (SOC) decomposition via the rhizosphere priming effect (RPE).

Soil microorganisms act as executor in mediating soil organic carbon (SOC) turnover. The huge soil microbial pool harbors complex microbial community compositions, how and to what extent microorgan...

Physical protection of soil organic carbon (SOC) relating to soil aggregates is an important factor controlling SOC decomposition.

Alien harmful species often generate great threats to ecosystem structure, function, biodiversity, as well as social and economic development.

The researchers found that the HFA effect increased with decreasing size fractions of the soil biotic community, demonstrated that soil microorganisms are specialized to decompose specific resource...
