Is the thermodynamic efficiency of soil microbial communities related to ecosystem maturity and stress? [PDF]
, 2014 According to the second law of thermodynamics, no process can be 100% efficient and all processes must increase the total entropy of the system they occupy.

Rapid transfer of photosynthetic carbon through the plant-soil system in differently managed species-rich grasslands [PDF]
, 2011 Plant-soil interactions are central to short-term carbon (C) cycling through the rapid transfer of recently assimilated C from plant roots to soil biota. In grassland ecosystems, changes in C cycling are likely to be influenced by land use and management

Microbial volatile fingerprints: potential use for soil/water diagnostics and correlation with traditional microbial parameters [PDF]
, 2007 This project used an electronic nose (E-nose) system composed of an array of 14 nonspecific conducting polymer sensors for soil and water diagnostics, based on qualitative microbial volatile production patterns. It tested the feasibility of using soil

Constrained Forest Methane Sink by Thermal Adaptation of Soil Methanotrophs. [PDF]
Adv Sci (Weinh)Climate warming can stimulate methanotroph‐mediated CH4 oxidation in forest soils, thereby mitigating the increase in atmospheric CH4 concentrations. By integrating evidence from a macro‐climatic thermal gradient and a 70‐day incubation experiment, this study demonstrates that microbial methanotrophs can adapt to long‐term temperature changes at the ...
