Microbial carbon use efficiency promotes global soil carbon storage. [PDF]
A deep learning and data-driven modelling study finds that microbial carbon use efficiency is a major determinant of soil organic carbon storage and its spatial variation across the globe. Soils store more carbon than other terrestrial ecosystems^ 1 , 2 .

Beyond microbial carbon use efficiency. [PDF]
Microbial carbon use efficiency (CUE) is defined as the proportion of microbial biomass growth C versus substrate C uptake, and thus provides a useful measure of microbially driven accumulation and loss of soil organic carbon (SOC) [1 ].

Microbial carbon use efficiency predicted from genome-scale metabolic models. [PDF]
Respiration by soil bacteria and fungi is one of the largest fluxes of carbon (C) from the land surface. Although this flux is a direct product of microbial metabolism, controls over metabolism and their responses to global change are a major uncertainty

Transcriptomic markers of fungal growth, respiration and carbon-use efficiency. [PDF]
Fungal metabolic carbon acquisition and its subsequent partitioning between biomass production and respiration, i.e. the carbon-use efficiency (CUE), are central parameters in biogeochemical modeling.

Soil Microbial Carbon Use Efficiency in Natural Terrestrial Ecosystems [PDF]
Soil microbial carbon use efficiency (CUE) is the ratio of carbon allocated to microbial growth to that taken up by microorganisms. Soil microbial CUE affects terrestrial ecosystem processes such as greenhouse gas emissions, carbon turnover, and ...

Carbon Use Efficiency and Its Temperature Sensitivity Covary in Soil Bacteria [PDF]
The strategy that microbial decomposers take with respect to using substrate for growth versus maintenance is one essential biological determinant of the propensity of carbon to remain in soil.

Modeling adaptation of carbon use efficiency in microbial communities [PDF]
In new microbial-biogeochemical models, microbial carbon use efficiency (CUE) is often assumed to decline with increasing temperature. Under this assumption, soil carbon losses under warming are small because microbial biomass declines. Yet there is also

Whole-soil-profile warming does not change microbial carbon use efficiency in surface and deep soils. [PDF]
Significance Although surface and deep soils will warm at nearly the same rate throughout the next century, the response of deep-soil organic carbon (C) to climate warming is still unknown.
