DOI: 10.1029/2025gb008511
Abstract: Soil microbial biomass (SMB) and stoichiometric ratios of carbon and nutrients in microorganisms are crucial to predict biogeochemical and nutrient cycling in terrestrial ecosystems, particularly under global change. Using SMB data from 1,288 studies in… read more here.

Abstract: Soil ecological stoichiometry provides powerful theories to integrate the complex interplay of element cycling and microbial communities into biogeochemical models. One essential assumption is that microbes maintain stable C:N:P (carbon:nitrogen:phosphorus) ratios independent of resource supply,… read more here.

DOI: 10.3390/agronomy15051152
Abstract: Litter serves as a crucial source of soil nutrients in sandy land ecosystems. Soil enzyme activities and their stoichiometric ratios act as essential “bridges” linking microbial metabolism with nutrient cycling, thereby reflecting the availability of… read more here.
