Climate warming alters subsoil but not topsoil carbon dynamics in alpine grassland

J Jia, Z Cao, C Liu, Z Zhang, LI Lin… - Global Change …, 2019 - Wiley Online Library
Subsoil contains more than half of soil organic carbon (SOC) globally and is conventionally
assumed to be relatively unresponsive to warming compared to the topsoil. Here, we show …

Inactive and inefficient: Warming and drought effect on microbial carbon processing in alpine grassland at depth

E Zhu, Z Cao, J Jia, C Liu, Z Zhang… - Global Change …, 2021 - Wiley Online Library
Subsoils contain >50% of soil organic carbon (SOC) globally yet remain under‐investigated
in terms of their response to climate changes. Recent evidence suggests that warmer, drier …

Aridity and NPP constrain contribution of microbial necromass to soil organic carbon in the Qinghai-Tibet alpine grasslands

X Zhang, J Jia, L Chen, H Chu, JS He, Y Zhang… - Soil Biology and …, 2021 - Elsevier
Microbial necromass carbon (MNC) is key to soil organic carbon (SOC) storage. However,
mechanisms regulating MNC accumulation on large scales are poorly understood. Here we …

Comparing microbial carbon sequestration and priming in the subsoil versus topsoil of a Qinghai-Tibetan alpine grassland

J Jia, X Feng, JS He, H He, L Lin, Z Liu - Soil Biology and Biochemistry, 2017 - Elsevier
Subsoils of alpine grasslands on the Qinghai-Tibetan Plateau represent a tremendous yet
poorly investigated reservoir of soil organic carbon (SOC) on a global “hotspot” of warming. …

Assessing the accumulation efficiency of various microbial carbon components in soils of different minerals

Y Cai, T Ma, Y Wang, J Jia, Y Jia, C Liang, X Feng - Geoderma, 2022 - Elsevier
Heterotrophic soil microbes are increasingly recognized as a key mediator transforming
labile organic carbon (OC) into relatively stable soil carbon (C) in the form of microbial …

Molecular 14C evidence for contrasting turnover and temperature sensitivity of soil organic matter components

J Jia, Z Liu, N Haghipour, L Wacker, H Zhang… - Ecology …, 2023 - Wiley Online Library
Climate projection requires an accurate understanding for soil organic carbon (SOC)
decomposition and its response to warming. An emergent view considers that environmental …

Soil organic matter molecular composition with long‐term detrital alterations is controlled by site‐specific forest properties

…, R Bowden, FN Mohammed Jauhar, J Jia… - Global Change …, 2023 - Wiley Online Library
Forest ecosystems are important global soil carbon (C) reservoirs, but their capacity to sequester
C is susceptible to climate change factors that alter the quantity and quality of C inputs. …
