Soil extracellular enzyme activities correspond with abiotic factors more than fungal community composition [PDF]
Soil extracellular enzymes are the proximal drivers of decomposition. However, the relative influence of climate, soil nutrients and edaphic factors compared to microbial community composition on extracellular enzyme activities (EEA) is poorly resolved ...

Carbon-to-nutrient stoichiometry shapes microbial carbon utilization and soil organic carbon storage in agricultural soils [PDF]
Den meisten Agrarökosystemen werden anthropogene Nährstoffe zugeführt, was einen wichtigen Einfluss auf die organische Bodensubstanz (SOM) und das Pflanzenwachstum in landwirtschaftlichen Böden hat.

Revealing microbial processes and nutrient limitation in soil through ecoenzymatic stoichiometry and glomalin-related soil proteins in a retreating glacier forefield [PDF]
The glacial retreat is observed and predicted to increase in intensity especially in high-elevation areas as a result of global warming, which leaves behind a primary succession along soil chronosequences.

Soil microorganisms are an important part of terrestrial ecosystems; they are influenced by and react to vegetation via changes in their physicochemical properties, thereby forming an interactive feedback system with vegetation.

Benthic algae stimulate leaf litter decomposition in detritus-based headwater streams: a case of aquatic priming effect? [PDF]
In detritus-based ecosystems, autochthonous primary production contributes very little to the detritus pool. Yet primary producers may still influence the functioning of these ecosystems through complex interactions with decomposers and detritivores ...

Dependence of ombrotrophic peat nitrogen on phosphorus and climate [PDF]
Nitrogen (N) is a key, possibly limiting, nutrient in ombrotrophic peat ecosystems, and enrichment by pollutant N in atmospheric deposition (Ndep, g m-2 a-1) is of concern with regard to peatland damage.

Abstract Microorganisms regulate the decomposition of soil organic matter and the flow of plant‐available nutrients. In a temperate pine forest in North Carolina, USA, where nitrogen (N) had been experimentally added for eight years, we combined DNA‐based measures of fungal and bacterial biomass and composition with measures of seven extracellular ...

Morphological optimization for access to dual oxidants in biofilms [PDF]
A major theme driving research in biology is the relationship between form and function. In particular, a longstanding goal has been to understand how the evolution of multicellularity conferred fitness advantages.
