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.

Carbon isotopes and water use efficiency in C4 plants [PDF]
Current Opinion in Plant Biology, 2016 Drought is a major agricultural problem worldwide. Therefore, selection for increased water use efficiency (WUE) in food and biofuel crop species will be an important trait in plant breeding programs. The leaf carbon isotopic composition (δ(13)Cleaf) has been suggested to serve as a rapid and effective high throughput phenotyping method for WUE in both

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 Abstract The 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 ...

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).

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

Resource Legacies of Organic and Conventional Management Differentiate Soil Microbial Carbon Use
Frontiers in Microbiology, 2017 Long-term contrasts in agricultural management can shift soil resource availability with potential consequences to microbial carbon (C) use efficiency (CUE) and the fate of C in soils.
