TL;DR: In this paper, a synopsis of soil literature that specifically tests practices designed to maintain or enhance elements of soil health is presented, using an expert panel of soil scientists and practitioners to highlight practices beneficial to soil health, practices considered detrimental, and practices that need further investigation.

TL;DR: In this paper, erosion-induced changes in the carbon cycle need to be taken into account when developing management schemes to maximize carbon storage in soils, which will come at a cost both to atmospheric greenhouse gas levels and the economy.

TL;DR: This work provides the first evidence of co-ordinated temperature-driven patterns in the diversity and distribution of plants, soil bacteria and fungi in tropical ecosystems, and suggests that, across landscape scales of relatively constant soil pH, shared patterns and environmental drivers of plant and microbial communities can occur.

TL;DR: In this article , a cross-scale framework was proposed to disentangle the climatic control over the P-SR relationship in grasslands using the HerbDivNet dataset, which covers 28 natural grasslands in 19 countries and 6 continents with wide precipitation and temperature gradients.
