Long-Term Tillage and Irrigation Management Practices: Impact on Carbon Budgeting and Energy Dynamics under Rice–Wheat Rotation of Indian Mid-Himalayan Region

Conservation, 2022
In modern agriculture, reducing the carbon footprint and emission of greenhouse gases with greater energy efficiency are major issues for achieving the sustainability of agricultural production systems. To address this issue, a long-term field experiment

Emerging multiscale insights on microbial carbon use efficiency in the land carbon cycle. [PDF]

Nat Commun
AbstractMicrobial carbon use efficiency (CUE) affects the fate and storage of carbon in terrestrial ecosystems, but its global importance remains uncertain. Accurately modeling and predicting CUE on a global scale is challenging due to inconsistencies in measurement techniques and the complex interactions of climatic, edaphic, and biological factors ...

Microbial carbon use efficiency along an altitudinal gradient [PDF]

Soil Biology and Biochemistry, 2022
Soil microbial carbon-use efficiency (CUE), described as the ratio of growth over total carbon (C) uptake, i.e. the sum of growth and respiration, is a key variable in all soil organic matter (SOM) models and critical to ecosystem C cycling. However, there is still a lack of consensus on microbial CUE when estimated using different methods. Furthermore,

Soil Fungi Exposed to Warming Temperatures and Shrinking Snowpack in a Northern Hardwood Forest Have Lower Capacity for Growth and Nutrient Cycling

Frontiers in Forests and Global Change, 2022
Projections for the northeastern United States indicate that mean air temperatures will rise and snowfall will become less frequent, causing more frequent soil freezing.

Carbon use efficiency in mycorrhizas theory and sample calculations [PDF]

New Phytologist, 1994
summaryThe benefit to a fungus by a mycorrhizal association is that it gains carbon from its host. A benefit to a host is usually a nutritional one, but any resulting increase in dry weight may be counteracted by the carbon consumed by the fungus.

Diverging climate response of corn yield and carbon use efficiency across the U.S.

Environmental Research Letters, 2023
In this paper, we developed an open-source package to analyze the overall trend and responses of both carbon use efficiency (CUE) and corn yield to climate factors for the contiguous United States.

Energy Budgeting and Carbon Footprints Estimation of Fodder Maize Varieties Sown under Different Nutrient Management Practices in Indo-Gangetic Plains of India

Agronomy, 2023
Inappropriate agricultural practices consume more input energy and emit higher greenhouse gases (GHGs) which cause global warming and climate change, thereby threatening environmental sustainability.

Drought-Induced Carbon and Water Use Efficiency Responses in Dryland Vegetation of Northern China

Frontiers in Plant Science, 2019
Given the context of global warming and the increasing frequency of extreme climate events, concerns have been raised by scientists, government, and the public regarding drought occurrence and its impacts, particularly in arid and semi-arid regions.
