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.

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.

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.

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

Energy Budgeting and Carbon Footprints Estimation of Fodder Maize Varieties Sown under Different Nutrient Management Practices in Indo-Gangetic Plains of India

Agronomy, 2023
Inappropriate agricultural practices consume more input energy and emit higher greenhouse gases (GHGs) which cause global warming and climate change, thereby threatening environmental sustainability.

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

Pyrogenic conversion of rice straw and wood to biochar increases aromaticity and carbon accumulation in soil

Carbon Management, 2021
Open field burning of rice straw besides causing environmental pollution and human health problems results in loss of organic carbon and essential nutrients.
