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

Modeling Microbial Adaptations to Nutrient Limitation During Litter Decomposition

Frontiers in Forests and Global Change, 2021
Microbial decomposers face large stoichiometric imbalances when feeding on nutrient-poor plant residues. To meet the challenges of nutrient limitation, microorganisms might: (i) allocate less carbon (C) to growth vs.

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

The Effects of Molecular Anions on the Chemistry of Dark Clouds [PDF]

, 2009
We have investigated the role of molecular anion chemistry in pseudo-time dependent chemical models of dark clouds. With oxygen-rich elemental abundances, the addition of anions results in a slight improvement in the overall agreement between model ...

Enhanced Charge Carrier Transport in 2D Perovskites by Incorporating Single-Walled Carbon Nanotubes or Graphene [PDF]

, 2020
Two-dimensional (2D) organic-inorganic (hybrid) perovskites are considered promising candidates to replace conventional three-dimensional (3D) perovskites for solar cell applications as they have good resistance against moisture and UV light.

Ecosystem carbon dynamics differ between tundra shrub types in the western Canadian Arctic

Environmental Research Letters, 2018
Shrub expansion at high latitudes has been implicated in driving vegetation ‘greening’ trends and may partially offset CO _2 emissions from warming soils. However, we do not yet know how Arctic shrub expansion will impact ecosystem carbon (C) cycling and

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.
