The Role of Microbial Communities in the Formation and Decomposition of Soil Organic Matter (2010, background): “2002) as well as in the whole organic matter (Cleveland and Townsend 2006; Mack et al. 2004; Bragazza et al. 2006; Paterson et al. 2008b).”
The myth of nitrogen fertilization for soil carbon sequestration. (2007, background): “Both fi ndings are consistent with evidence that the addition of N or P is more eff ective for stimulating mineralization of SOC in subsurface horizons, as compared with surface soil layers (e.g., Rovira and Vallejo, 1997; Soon and Arshad, 2002; Fierer et al., 2003; Mack et al., 2004).”
Technologies and perspectives for achieving carbon neutrality (2021, background): “If the stimulation of decomposition is more than production caused by fertilization, there would ultimately be a net C loss from the ecosystem.(167) Themagnitude of nutrient limitation is determined by the environmental conditions, the variability of plant properties, and the potential physio-bioche”
Nitrogen fertilization reduces diversity and alters community structure of active fungi in boreal ecosystems (2007, background): “For example, N deposition increases N leaching and trace gas losses, alters soil carbon (C) stocks, and changes plant community composition (Hall and Matson, 1999; Mack et al., 2004; Waldrop et al., 2004; Suding et al., 2005).”
Fifteen years of climate change manipulations alter soil microbial communities in a subarctic heath ecosystem (2007, background): “The weak response to fertilizer addition is in contrast with the results from moist acidic tundra in Alaska, where long-term fertilization led to accumulation of inorganic N at all soil depths, although a decrease in total soil N resulted in no significant effects on ecosystem N pools (Mack et al., ”
Satellite observations of high northern latitude vegetation productivity changes between 1982 and 2008: ecological variability and regional differences (2011, background): “If widespread, a shift toward a greater dominance of shrubs might affect the carbon balance (Shaver et al 1992, Mack et al 2004) and radiation budget (Chapin et al 2005, Sturm et al 2005a, Loranty et al 2011) of the tundra biome, amongst others through shifts in fire activity (Higuera et al 2008).”
Consequences of More Intensive Forestry for the Sustainable Management of Forest Soils and Waters (2011, background): “Even in sparsely populated boreal regions, soils and waters are being affected by long-range transport and atmospheric deposition of pollutants, climate change, and land use activities, including forest management [4,5].”
Low levels of nitrogen addition stimulate decomposition by boreal forest fungi (2009, background): “: þ1 (949) 824 2341; All rights reserved. on plant and microbial communities in boreal ecosystems (Strömgren and Linder, 2002; Mack et al., 2004; Olsson et al., 2005).”
Reduced dependence of rhizosphere microbiome on plant-derived carbon in 32-year long-term inorganic and organic fertilized soils (2015, background): “After 32 years application of inorganic or organic fertilizers, soil characteristics such as pH, organic C, and macronutrients were significantly changed compared with the Control (Table S1), which was in agreement with other long-term experiments in various ecosystems (M€ ader et al., 2002; Mack et”
Soil carbon stocks in experimental mesocosms are dependent on the rate of labile carbon, nitrogen and phosphorus inputs to soils (2008, neutral): “Journal compilation © 2008 British Ecological Society, Functional Ecology, 22, 964–974 (Mack et al. 2004).”

Permafrost carbon-climate feedbacks accelerate global warming (2011, background): “In particular, mineralization of nitrogen from thawing permafrost soil organic matter could lead to both enhanced plant growth and decomposition, with an uncertain sign on the net carbon balance response to the added N (32, 33).”
