Based on a continuous 9-year no-tillage farmland, a research team from the Institute of Applied Ecology of the Chinese Academy of Sciences (CAS) conducted an in-situ 15N-labeled micro-plot to inves...

The development of field management practices for reducing pathogenic pollution of water systems is slow because of a lack of understanding of the dynamics of microbial transport through subsurface...

Root exudation is critical in influencing soil organic matter (SOM) decay via the rhizosphere priming effect (RPE) with a cascade of changes in microbial communities and enzyme activities, which ca...

Microorganisms are the drivers of soil organic carbon mineralization, and the activity of soil microorganisms directly affects the turnover rate of soil carbon.Contact YUE Qian Institute of App...

The researchers estimated microbial carbon use efficiency (CUE) and nitrogen use efficiency (NUE) by 18O-labelled H2O incubation method and found that N addition (low, ambient and high N addition) ...
