Brazil's Cerrado valley wetlands—swamp savanna and gallery forest—are highly important for the biome's water cycle and carbon storage and are susceptible to degradation from the impacts of land use expansion and the climate crisis. In support of their detailed monitoring and assessment, we developed and tested a transferable mapping approach that ...

Abstract Soil nitrogen (N) mineralization governs plant‐available N from soil organic matter and microbial turnover, and is typically estimated as potentially mineralizable nitrogen (PMN) via anaerobic incubations or as N0 and mineralization rate (k) via long‐term aerobic incubations.

ABSTRACT Previous studies have documented genetic divergence within the last few million years between northern and southern populations of terrestrial plants and animals along the Baja California peninsula, with many studies hypothesising that the divergence is due to an ancient seaway that crossed the central peninsula and created a physical barrier ...

This study compared the biogeochemical niches of three Fagus species (F. grandifolia, F. sylvatica, and F. crenata) using foliar nutrient data from 328 sites, revealing distinct elemental compositions and unique nutrient acquisition strategies. Phosphorus and calcium primarily distinguished F. sylvatica, whereas F.

Increasing Respiration Weakens the Carbon Sink Over Two Decades in a Temperate Deciduous Forest
Using a 20‐year eddy covariance record from a temperate deciduous forest, we show that net carbon uptake declined over two decades. Both the trend and interannual variability in net carbon exchange were respiration driven, with warming winters and increasing late‐summer diffuse light driving the trend in respiration.

Advancing our understanding of soil particulate organic matter dynamics
Abstract This study aimed to characterize the diversity and complexity of soil particulate organic matter (POM) across California agricultural fields. By identifying the chemical signature of this small but significant organic matter fraction, researchers can build a deeper understanding of how it contributes to nutrient and carbon cycling in ...

Cropping system and nitrogen fertilization modulate soil enzyme kinetics
Abstract The decomposition of soil organic matter and nutrient cycling are largely mediated by extracellular enzymes, yet the effect of soil management on enzyme kinetic (Michaelis constant [Km] and maximum velocity [Vmax]) remains poorly understood.

Abstract Landscapes in humid climates often experience rapid chemical and mechanical weathering that can change groundwater fluxes, drainage pathways, and frictional strength via alterations in subsurface mineral composition and matrix porosity. These changes to hillslope critical zone structure and strength should control landslide susceptibility ...

ABSTRACT Although straw is widely used to ameliorate saline soils, the impact of salinity on straw conversion into soil organic carbon (SOC) fractions remains unclear. Our aim was to explore how soil salinity affected straw conversion into SOC. A 180‐day soil incubation with 13C‐labeling maize straw was conducted to investigate straw conversion into ...
