TL;DR: In this article, a statistical analysis investigating the value of environmental data and microbial community structure independently and in combination for explaining rates of carbon and nitrogen cycling processes within 82 global datasets is presented.

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors measured fluxes of greenhouse gases from intact soil cores obtained from 13 European sites under controlled laboratory conditions and found a non-linear increase of N2O, NO and CO2 emissions with increasing temperature.

TL;DR: Simultaneous labelling of the soil with (15)NH(+)(4) showed that the ectomycorrhizal roots, which were the strongest sinks for photosynthate, were also the most active sinks for soil nitrogen, highlighting the close temporal coupling between tree canopy photosynthesis and a significant fraction of soil activity in forests.

TL;DR: In this paper, emissions of NO, NO2, and N2O to the atmosphere were measured with a fully automated laboratory system from undisturbed soil columns obtained from five different temperate and one boreal forest sites.

TL;DR: The 4 °C increase in soil temperature during the snow-free season had no influence on microbial community composition and biomass but strongly increased microbial metabolic activity and hence reduced carbon use efficiency.
