Nitrogen Deposition Enhances the Positive Contribution of CO₂ Fertilization to China’s Carbon and Water Use Efficiencies

Land, 2023
With climate change, Nitrogen deposition (ND) and carbon dioxide (CO2) have increased significantly, but the effects of ND and CO2 fertilization on carbon-use efficiency (CUE) and water-use efficiency (WUE) are still unclear. Therefore, the effects of ND

Estimating ecosystem maximum light use efficiency based on the water use efficiency principle

Environmental Research Letters, 2021
Light use efficiency (LUE) defines the vegetation efficiency of converting radiative energy into biochemical energy through photosynthesis. Estimating the maximum LUE ( ε _max ) is critical yet challenging for quantifying gross primary production (GPP ...

Microbial Necromass in Soils—Linking Microbes to Soil Processes and Carbon Turnover

Frontiers in Environmental Science, 2021
The organic matter of living plants is the precursor material of the organic matter stored in terrestrial soil ecosystems. Although a great deal of knowledge exists on the carbon turnover processes of plant material, some of the processes of soil organic

Does metabolic water control the phosphate oxygen isotopes of microbial cells?

Frontiers in Microbiology, 2023
The oxygen isotopes ratio (δ18O) of microbial cell water strongly controls the δ18O of cell phosphate and of other oxygen-carrying moieties. Recently it was suggested that the isotopic ratio in cell water is controlled by metabolic water, which is the ...

Carbon use efficiency variability from MODIS data

Revista de Teledetección, 2017
Carbon use efficiency (CUE) describes how efficiently plants incorporate the carbon fixed during photosynthesis into biomass gain and can be calculated as the ratio between net primary production (NPP) and gross primary production (GPP).
