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 ...

Evidence for strong seasonality in the carbon storage and carbon use efficiency of an Amazonian forest [PDF]
Global Change Biology, 2014 AbstractThe relative contribution of gross primary production and ecosystem respiration to seasonal changes in the net carbon flux of tropical forests remains poorly quantified by both modelling and field studies. We use data assimilation to combine nine ecological time series from an eastern Amazonian forest, with mass balance constraints from an ...

Fungal interactions reduce carbon use efficiency
Ecology Letters, 2017 AbstractThe efficiency by which fungi decompose organic matter contributes to the amount of carbon that is retained in biomass vs. lost to the atmosphere as respiration. This carbon use efficiency (CUE) is affected by various abiotic conditions, including temperature and nutrient availability.

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).

Microbial diversity drives carbon use efficiency in a model soil. [PDF]
Nat Commun, 2020 AbstractEmpirical evidence for the response of soil carbon cycling to the combined effects of warming, drought and diversity loss is scarce. Microbial carbon use efficiency (CUE) plays a central role in regulating the flow of carbon through soil, yet how biotic and abiotic factors interact to drive it remains unclear.

Environmental and stoichiometric controls on microbial carbon‐use efficiency in soils [PDF]
New Phytologist, 2012 Summary Carbon (C) metabolism is at the core of ecosystem function. Decomposers play a critical role in this metabolism as they drive soil C cycle by mineralizing organic matter to CO 2 . Their growth depends on the carbon‐use efficiency (CUE), defined as the ratio of growth

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.

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.
