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

Microbial Necromass in Soils—Linking Microbes to Soil Processes and Carbon Turnover

Frontiers in Environmental Science, 2021
The organic matter of living plants is the precursor material of the organic matter stored in terrestrial soil ecosystems. Although a great deal of knowledge exists on the carbon turnover processes of plant material, some of the processes of soil organic

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 ...

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

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).

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
