TL;DR: A novel incubation experiment with periodically varying temperature based on the mean annual temperature of the soil origin sites highlighted the importance of C quality and microbial controls over Q10 value in China's forest ecosystems and showed that changes in the Q10 values were nonlinear with latitude.

TL;DR: It is suggested that temperature is more likely to associate with fungal diversity than with bacterial diversity in eastern China, with important implications for the prediction of soil biodiversity and functions under climate change scenarios.

TL;DR: In this paper, a meta-analysis on the effect of exogenous organic C input on native organic carbon decomposition (i.e., positive PE) across multiple terrestrial ecosystems was performed.

TL;DR: In this paper , the authors combined three independent global field surveys of soil fungi with a satellite-derived temporal assessment of plant productivity, and report that phylotype richness within particular fungal functional groups drives the stability of terrestrial ecosystems.

TL;DR: Overall, forest conversion induced significant increases in stochastic processes in both bacterial and fungal community assemblies and the importance of spatiotemporal scales to assess the influence of land-use change on microbial β-diversity is highlighted.
