Book Description
Soil functions are key in all ecosystems globally. Specifically soils play a pivotal role in ecosystem biogeochemical cycles, sequestering but also mineralizing carbon (C), and in this context releasing nutrients from the soil organic matter (SOM). This thesis aims to improve our understanding of key soil microbial functions involved in C and nutrient cycling, starting with a case study from a grassland ecosystem where degradation induces massive C losses and by that shifts in C and nutrient stoichiometry, which induce cascading effects of the interaction of microbes and plants with C and n...
