Effects of defoliation and nitrogen on carbon dioxide (CO2) emissions and microbial communities in soils of cherry tree orchards
DNA extraction and high-throughput sequencing Total DNA was extracted from soils with the Fast DNA SPIN Kit for Soil and FastPrep-24 nucleic acid Extraction instrument (MP Biomedicals, Santa Ana, CA, USA) on the 4th day. The DNA was examined with 1% agarose gel electrophoresis, and its concentration was measured with NanoDrop 2000. The DNA was stored in a refrigerator at −20 °C for subsequent use.

KEYLINK: towards a more integrative soil representation for inclusion in ecosystem scale models-II: model description, implementation and testing
Introduction Soil models used in ecosystem-scale modelling need to be relatively simple and fast at performing calculations. Nonetheless, carbon (C) and nutrient turnover and hydrology are extremely important for determining ecosystem productivity and C sequestration in the ecosystem. The most widely used soil models (Century, RothC) emphasize the C flow from easily degradable to stable organic compounds using first-order kinetics to describe their decay rates (Campbell & Paustian, 2015).
KEYLINK: towards a more integrative soil representation for inclusion in ecosystem scale models. I. review and model concept
Introduction Soils are multi-scale complex systems that contribute to several ecosystem services such as food, fibre and fuel production, carbon sequestration or water regulation (Adhikari & Hartemink, 2016). Soil quality has many definitions (see review by Bünemann et al. (2018)) which however all agree on the interconnected importance of soil organic matter (SOM) and soil structure for soil functioning.
