Nonlinear microbial thermal response and its implications for abrupt soil organic carbon responses to warming [PDF]

Nature Communications
Microbial carbon use efficiency (CUE) is a key microbial trait affecting soil organic carbon (SOC) dynamics. However, we lack a unified and predictive understanding of the mechanisms underpinning the temperature response of microbial CUE, and, thus, its ...

Nitrogen Deposition Enhances the Positive Contribution of CO₂ Fertilization to China’s Carbon and Water Use Efficiencies

Land, 2023
With climate change, Nitrogen deposition (ND) and carbon dioxide (CO2) have increased significantly, but the effects of ND and CO2 fertilization on carbon-use efficiency (CUE) and water-use efficiency (WUE) are still unclear. Therefore, the effects of ND

Detection of Carbon Use Efficiency Extremes and Analysis of Their Forming Climatic Conditions on a Global Scale Using a Remote Sensing-Based Model

Remote Sensing, 2022
Carbon use efficiency (CUE) represents the proficiency of plants in transforming carbon dioxide (CO2) into carbon stock in terrestrial ecosystems. CUE extremes represent ecosystems’ extreme proficiency in carbon transformation.

Microbial carbon use efficiency predicted from genome-scale metabolic models [PDF]

, 2019
Respiration by soil bacteria and fungi is one of the largest fluxes of carbon (C) from the land surface. Although this flux is a direct product of microbial metabolism, controls over metabolism and their responses to global change are a major uncertainty

Deadwood in logged-over Dipterocarp forests of Borneo [PDF]

, 2016
Deadwood is an important stock of carbon in logged-over Dipterocarp forests but still remains poorly studied. Here we present the study of deadwood in logged-over Dipterocarp forests using two common approaches: plot-based approach and line-intersect ...

Microbial carbon mineralization in tropical lowland and montane forest soils of Peru [PDF]

, 2016
Climate change is affecting the amount and complexity of plant inputs to tropical forest soils. This is likely to influence the carbon (C) balance of these ecosystems by altering decomposition processes e.g., "positive priming effects" that accelerate ...
