Limiting Resources Define the Global Pattern of Soil Microbial Carbon Use Efficiency [PDF]

Advanced Science
Microbial carbon (C) use efficiency (CUE) delineates the proportion of organic C used by microorganisms for anabolism and ultimately influences the amount of C sequestered in soils.

Modeling adaptation of carbon use efficiency in microbial communities [PDF]

Frontiers in Microbiology, 2014
In new microbial-biogeochemical models, microbial carbon use efficiency (CUE) is often assumed to decline with increasing temperature. Under this assumption, soil carbon losses under warming are small because microbial biomass declines. Yet there is also

Microbial diversity drives carbon use efficiency in a model soil [PDF]

Nature Communications, 2020
Microbial carbon use efficiency has an important role in soil C cycling. Here the authors test the interactive effects of temperature and moisture and manipulate microbial community composition in soil microcosms, showing a positive relationship between ...

Temperature-mediated changes in microbial carbon use efficiency and ¹³C discrimination [PDF]

Biogeosciences, 2016
Understanding how carbon dioxide (CO2) flux from ecosystems feeds back to climate warming depends in part on our ability to quantify the efficiency with which microorganisms convert organic carbon (C) into either biomass or CO2.

Microbial carbon use efficiency promotes global soil carbon storage. [PDF]

Nature, 2023
AbstractSoils store more carbon than other terrestrial ecosystems1,2. How soil organic carbon (SOC) forms and persists remains uncertain1,3, which makes it challenging to understand how it will respond to climatic change3,4. It has been suggested that soil microorganisms play an important role in SOC formation, preservation and loss5–7.

Continental-scale drivers of soil microbial extracellular polymeric substances [PDF]

Nature Communications
Extracellular polymeric substances (EPS) are key microbial residues that contribute to soil organic carbon (SOC) and promote soil aggregation. Yet, their abundance and large-scale controls have only begun to be investigated.

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 ...

Global patterns and drivers of soil microbial nitrogen and phosphorus use efficiency [PDF]

Nature Communications
While nutrient use efficiency of soil microorganisms, the proportion of assimilated nutrients allocated into biosynthesis rather than invested in mineralization, is a critical microbial functional trait, its global patterns remain poorly quantified. Here,
