This study compares microbial community responses to short-term and long-term drought in soil, finding that prolonged drought alters microbial composition and organic matter profiles, with rewetting not restoring pre-drought conditions.

This study examines the effects of experimental flooding on coastal forest soil biogeochemistry and vegetation, finding impacts on soil but not consistent aboveground responses.

The paper quantifies a global soil organic carbon sink of 1.83 petagrams per year from 1992 to 2020, driven by extratropical and boreal ecosystems, highlighting the importance of soil conservation for climate mitigation.
