TL;DR: In this article, the root exudation and respiration of Triticum aestivum L, var. Consort, were investigated in hydroponics at 20°C, pulse-labelled with 14CO2 and subjected to two regimes of temperature and light (12h photoperiod or darkness at either 15°C or 25°C), to alter plant C supply and demand.

TL;DR: This review is the first presenting SQIs based on EAs for metal(loid) contaminated soils, and represents the first quantitative analysis of metal( loid) effects on E as well as suggesting principles for the development of SQIs considering biotic soil functions via the use of EAs.

TL;DR: This work studied how the unlimited growth phase can be identified in less subjective ways by examining 121 datasets of respiration time series of 44 different soil samples taken from field plots and found that the weighted-coefficient of determination (r2) can be used to objectively constrain the unlimited Growth phase in those cases where double-limitation does not occur.

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors studied the effect of the addition of three clay minerals (Na-bentonite, Ca-binite, and zeolite) to soil derived from sewage sludge on water-extractable and exchangeable forms of four heavy metals (Zn, Cd, Cu, and Ni), as well as on soil organic matter mineralization, microbial biomass C and the release of inorganic N.

TL;DR: This work combined DNA stable-isotope probing and high-throughput sequencing to identify active fungal and bacterial groups degrading residues in soils after 3 years of mineral fertilization with and without manure, providing fundamental information about the roles of key microbial groups in residue decomposition.
