Eco-stoichiometric alterations in paddy soil ecosystem driven by phosphorus application. [PDF]

PLoS ONE, 2013
Agricultural fertilization may change processes of elemental biogeochemical cycles and alter the ecological function. Ecoenzymatic stoichiometric feature plays a critical role in global soil carbon (C) metabolism, driving element cycles, and mediating ...

Ecoenzymatic stoichiometry reveals widespread soil phosphorus limitation to microbial metabolism across Chinese forests [PDF]

Communications Earth & Environment, 2022
Phosphorus limitation of soil microbial communities in forests is widespread, increases with soil depth, and is enhanced under wetter and warmer climates and elevated anthropogenic nitrogen deposition, according to ecoenzymatic stoichiometric analyses ...

Exogenous nitrogen input skews estimates of microbial nitrogen use efficiency by ecoenzymatic stoichiometry

Ecological Processes, 2023
Background Ecoenzymatic stoichiometry models (EEST) are often used to evaluate microbial nutrient use efficiency, but the validity of these models under exogenous nitrogen (N) input has never been clarified. Here, we investigated the effects of long-term

Mine drainage leads to the reshaping of the spatial patterns of soil extracellular econzymatic stoichiometry and microbial resource limitation [PDF]

Scientific Reports
Global environmental changes have brought significant attention to the ecological problems caused by mine drainage. Mine drainage alters the physicochemical properties of soil, which can, in turn, influence its ecological function. However, the impact of

Top-Down Effect of Arthropod Predator Chinese Mitten Crab on Freshwater Nutrient Cycling [PDF]

Animals, 2023
Aquatic litter decomposition is highly dependent on contributions and interactions at different trophic levels. The invasion of alien aquatic organisms like the channeled apple snail (Pomacea canaliculata) might lead to changes in the decomposition ...

Does the C:N:P 1:1:1 Ratio Hold? Examining Log-Transformation Bias in Enzyme Stoichiometry. [PDF]

Glob Chang Biol
Microbial enzymes play a key role in recycling nutrients in soil, but common methods for analyzing enzyme ratios can introduce bias and reinforce misleading patterns. This article challenges the widely accepted global 1:1:1 C:N:P enzyme investment ratio, arguing it may be a methodological artefact, and recommends established, unit‐independent ...

The Effects of Salinity on Microbial Metabolic Limitation and Carbon Use Efficiency in Rhizosphere and Bulk Soils of Tamarix austromongolica [PDF]

Plants
Soil extracellular enzyme activity reflects microbial resource acquisition and metabolic efficiency. However, applying enzyme stoichiometry to explore microbial metabolic limitations and carbon use efficiency (CUE) in rhizosphere and bulk soils under ...

Expanding Horizons: Next-Generation and Interdisciplinary Advances in the Applications of Extracellular Vesicles. [PDF]

J Extracell Biol
ABSTRACT Extracellular vesicles (EVs) are increasingly recognized as universal mediators of communication in nature across all domains of life and as versatile tools with roles spanning a wide range of industries. Although EVs have been extensively studied in biomedicine, mainly in diagnostic and nanotherapy of cancer and neurodegenerative diseases ...

Nitrogen addition aggravates microbial carbon limitation: Evidence from ecoenzymatic stoichiometry

Geoderma, 2018
Abstract Nitrogen (N) deposition may change carbon (C) or nutrient limitation of soil microbes, but whether such change can be reflected by ecoenzymatic stoichiometry has not been well studied. Here, we synthesized data from 36 published studies to evaluate the responses of ecoenzymatic stoichiometry to N addition.

Karst tiankeng create a unique habitat for the survival of soil microbes: Evidence from ecoenzymatic stoichiometry

Frontiers in Ecology and Evolution, 2022
Clarifying the soil microbial metabolism and resource limitations could help to understand the functions and processes of aboveground ecosystems, as well as to predict ecosystem stability under global climate change.
