Modeling adaptation of carbon use efficiency in microbial communities [PDF]

Frontiers in Microbiology, 2014
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 empirical evidence that CUE may adapt (i.e., become less sensitive) to warming, thereby mitigating ...

A mechanistic analysis of light and carbon use efficiencies [PDF]

Plant, Cell & Environment, 1998
We explore the extent to which a simple mechanistic model of short‐term plant carbon (C) dynamics can account for a number of generally observed plant phenomena. For an individual, fully expanded leaf, the model predicts that the fast‐turnover labile C, starch and protein pools are driven into an approximate or moving steady state that is proportional ...

Systematic variation in the temperature dependence of bacterial carbon use efficiency [PDF]

Ecology Letters, 2020
Abstract Carbon use efficiency (CUE) is a key characteristic of microbial physiology and underlies community‐level responses to changing environments. Yet, we currently lack general empirical insights into variation in microbial CUE at the level of individual taxa.

Factors influencing carbon and water use efficiency in changing environments

Frontiers in Environmental Science
IntroductionVegetation plays a crucial role in terrestrial ecosystems, acting as a vital link connecting the lithosphere, hydrosphere, and atmosphere in terms of energy flow and material cycling.

Reply to: Beyond microbial carbon use efficiency

, 2023
In their commentary, Xiao et al. cautioned that the conclusions on the critical role of microbial carbon use efficiency (CUE) in global soil organic carbon (SOC) storage in a paper by Tao et al. (2023) might be too simplistic. They claimed that Tao et al.’s study lacked mechanistic consideration of SOC formation and excluded important datasets. Xiao et

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.

Response of carbon- and water-use efficiency to climate change and human activities in China

Ecological Indicators
Carbon-use efficiency (CUE) and water-use efficiency (WUE) are critical parameters for evaluating the exchange of carbon and water in ecosystems, influenced by climate change and human activities.

Net Ecosystem Exchange of CO₂ in Deciduous Pine Forest of Lower Western Himalaya, India

Resources, 2019
Carbon cycle studies over the climate-sensitive Himalayan regions are relatively understudied and to address this gap, systematic measurements on carbon balance components were performed over a deciduous pine forest with an understory layer.

Impact of intercropping on the coupling between soil microbial community structure, activity, and nutrient-use efficiencies [PDF]

PeerJ, 2019
Sugarcane-soybean intercropping has been widely used to control disease and improve nutrition in the field. However, the response of the soil microbial community diversity and structure to intercropping is not well understood.

Partial depletion of plasminogen activator inhibitor‐1 decreases subcutaneous fat cell hypertrophy and liver cholesterol in high‐fat‐fed female mice

FEBS Letters, EarlyView.
Obesity raises blood levels of PAI‐1, a protein linked to metabolic dysfunction‐associated steatotic liver disease in people with obesity. In female mice fed a high‐fat diet, partially lowering PAI‐1 led to smaller subcutaneous fat cells and lower liver cholesterol, without changing body weight or insulin sensitivity.
