TL;DR: In a 26-year soil warming experiment in a mid-latitude hardwood forest, changes in soil carbon cycling are documented to investigate the potential consequences for the climate system and support projections of a long-term, self-reinforcing carbon feedback from mid- latitude forests to theClimate system as the world warms.

TL;DR: In this paper, the effects of increased diversity in an agroecosystem, where plant diversity is increased over time through crop rotation, were tested for the effect of aboveground biodiversity on belowground communities and processes.

TL;DR: Positive biodiversity-function relationships in agroecosystems are indicated, driven by interactions between rotational and microbial diversity, which can sustain soil biological communities, with positive effects on soil organic matter and soil fertility.

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors examine the contribution of trees versus soil to total ecosystem carbon storage in a temperate forest and investigate the mechanisms by which soils accumulate carbon in response to two decades of elevated nitrogen inputs.

TL;DR: In this article, the MIcrobial-MIneral Carbon Stabilization (MIMICS) model is proposed to capture the relationship between litter quality, functional differences in microbial physiology, and the physical protection of microbial byproducts in forming stable soil organic matter (SOM).
