Soil organic matter (SOM) provides crucial storage for carbon but also contains a majority of soil nitrogen. Land use intensity (LUI) may affect the particulate and mineral-associated SOM pools having repercussions on the carbon and nitrogen storage and cycling. Soil organic matter dynamics and composition plays a key role for the extent of these processes, yet its interactions remain poorly...
Montane grasslands play a vital role in regional water cycling and agricultural productivity, yet their response to climate change remains insufficiently understood. This study presents findings from a multi-year climate manipulation experiment in the Austrian Alps, where high-precision lysimeters combined with warming (+3 °C) and elevated CO₂ concentrations (+300 ppm) were used to assess...
