TL;DR: In this paper, a new conceptual model that explicitly identifies the processes controlling soil organic matter availability for decomposition and allows a more explicit description of the factors regulating OM decomposition under different circumstances is presented.

TL;DR: Theoretical considerations and empirical evidence indicate that CUE decreases as temperature increases and nutrient availability decreases, and current biogeochemical models could be improved by accounting for these CUE responses along environmental and stoichiometric gradients.

TL;DR: Temperate and boreal forest ecosystems contain a large part of the carbon stored on land, in the form of both biomass and soil organic matter, which will change with increasing atmospheric [CO2], increasing temperature, elevated nitrogen deposition and intensified management.

TL;DR: It is found that the substantial carbon stores in Arctic and boreal soils could be more vulnerable to climate warming than currently predicted.

TL;DR: In this paper, the fate of carbon (C) in organisms, food webs, and ecosystems is to a major extent regulated by mass-balance principles and the availability of other key nutrient elements.
