This study investigates how viral top-down control (predation) alters microbial community composition and greenhouse gas (GHG) dynamics in paddy and maize soils. Viral infection shifts microbial profiles, leading to changes in GHG emissions…

This study investigates the effects of precipitation and warming on greenhouse gas fluxes (CO2, CH4, N2O) in an alpine meadow. It finds that precipitation changes have a stronger influence than warming, and their effects are additive.

The paper investigates the combined effects of seabird guano deposition and freeze-thaw cycles on greenhouse gas (CO2, CH4, N2O) emissions from tundra soils in the High Arctic and maritime Antarctic. It contributes to understanding natural …

Yapeng Wang, Yongchun Zhou, Xiaoya Wang +3

This meta-analysis investigates the combined effects of microplastics (MPs) and biochar on soil greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions. MPs increased CO2, CH4, N2O emissions and global warming potential, while biochar and combined treatments reduce…

This paper examines the relationship between oil consumption, urbanization, economic growth, and greenhouse gas emissions in India using a quantile approach. Results indicate varying impacts across emission quantiles, with important implica…

This review summarizes how microbial communities on marine microplastics (plastisphere) are shaped by polymer type, surface properties, and ocean warming. Plastics act as vectors for pathogens and antibiotic resistance genes. The plastisphe…

This paper develops statistical forecast models to predict phase reversals of the Warm Arctic–Cold Eurasia (WACE) pattern between early and late winter. By integrating predictions of the Ural high and Siberian high into existing models, the…

Rhizosphere priming effects (RPE) are often assumed to accelerate soil organic matter turnover and net carbon loss. This paper challenges that paradigm by showing that positive and negative RPE can cancel, leading to neutral or positive net…

Using ARDL bounds testing on Romanian annual data (1991-2024), this study finds that GDP growth significantly increases CO2 emissions while renewable energy consumption significantly reduces them. It provides rare long-run evidence for Roma…

This study investigates carbon accumulation in Mediterranean rhodolith beds during the Holocene. Sediment thickness up to 3.7 m, organic carbon content average 0.57%, estimated carbon stock 32.04 Mg C ha⁻¹. Results show that rhodolith beds …

This study reveals that soil organic carbon loss in subtropical Vertisols is primarily driven by reduced mineral association, not by changes in carbon forms. It provides insights into soil carbon sequestration mechanisms, which are critical…

Phytoplankton play a key role in the ocean carbon cycle, affecting atmospheric CO2 levels. This study uses computer modeling to identify where carbon-rich phytoplankton communities live and how they might help mitigate global warming under …

Analysis of 1080 rice-paddy sites across China reveals a threshold (~20 g/kg) in soil organic carbon (SOC) that governs biofilm carbon sink responses to warming. Below the threshold, warming increases carbon fixation; above it, fixation dec…
