Seasonal effects of long-term warming on ecosystem function and bacterial diversity

This study examines how long-term soil warming affects ecosystem function and bacterial diversity across seasons and soil horizons, finding that season strongly influences both but the function-diversity relationship remains stable under warming.

Microbial diversity ensures the stability of carbon cycling processes under increasing temperature in model soils

This study shows that microbial diversity in soils helps maintain stable carbon cycling under temperature changes, with lower diversity leading to greater instability in carbon use efficiency at higher temperatures.

Substrate availability and not thermal-acclimation controls microbial temperature sensitivity response to long term warming

The paper investigates how long-term warming affects microbial physiology by comparing thermal acclimation and substrate availability, finding that reduced carbon availability, not thermal acclimation, drives changes in microbial processes.

Maintaining grass coverage increases methane uptake in Amazonian pasture soils

This study shows that maintaining grass coverage in Amazonian pasture soils increases methane uptake and reduces methane-producing microbes, while liming converts soils from methane sinks to sources.

The role of microbial diversity in the formation of soil organic matter quality and persistence

This study shows that diverse microbial communities produce more stable soil organic matter by increasing its chemical complexity.
