1. Root quality is one of the main drivers of fine root decomposition, an important process controlling soil carbon (C) and nutrient cycling in most terrestrial ecosystems. Root quality is defined by
Abstract: Microbial necromass carbon (MNC) is an important contributor to stable soil organic carbon pools and is regulated by plant root traits and microbial community characteristics. Mean air tempe
This dataset contains information about the soil carbon stocks in the 'warmed' and 'control' treatment plots of 49 field warming experiments located across the northern hemisphere. It also includes
This data represents a investigation the spatial variability of soil SOC δ¹³C to reveal the contribution of vegetation and topography on soil carbon in the loess environment.
