Fungal Community, Not Substrate Quality, Drives Soil Microbial Function in Northeastern U.S. Temperate Forests

Frontiers in Forests and Global Change, 2020
Mycorrhizal fungi can affect soil organic matter cycling through several mechanisms including priming, nutrient competition, and direct enzyme production.

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.

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.

Diverging climate response of corn yield and carbon use efficiency across the U.S.

Environmental Research Letters, 2023
In this paper, we developed an open-source package to analyze the overall trend and responses of both carbon use efficiency (CUE) and corn yield to climate factors for the contiguous United States.

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.

Applying consumer responsibility principle in evaluating environmental load of carbon emissions [PDF]

, 2011
There is a need for a proper indicator in order to assess the environmental impact of international trade, therefore using the carbon footprint as an indicator can be relevant and useful.

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.
