Fast-decaying plant litter enhances soil carbon in temperate forests but not through microbial physiological traits... Mycorrhizal associations of tree species influence soil nitrogen dynamics via effects on soil acid–base chemistry... A trade-off between plant and soil carbon storage under elevated CO2... Biological mechanisms may contribute to soil carbon saturation patterns... Nitrogen cycling microbiomes are structured by plant mycorrhizal associations with consequences for nitrogen oxide fluxes in ... Integrating the evidence for a terrestrial carbon sink caused by increasing atmospheric CO 2... Root-derived inputs are major contributors to soil carbon in temperate forests, but vary by mycorrhizal type...
