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.

Drought-Induced Carbon and Water Use Efficiency Responses in Dryland Vegetation of Northern China
Frontiers in Plant Science, 2019 Given the context of global warming and the increasing frequency of extreme climate events, concerns have been raised by scientists, government, and the public regarding drought occurrence and its impacts, particularly in arid and semi-arid regions.

Attitudes and behaviours of private sector landlords towards the energy efficiency of tenanted homes [PDF]
, 2014 The UK’s housing stock generates approximately 27 per cent of the country's total annual carbon emissions. In light of the legally binding targets to reduce carbon emissions, new housing is subject to a tightening of regulations governing energy demand ...

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.

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.
