GeodermaMicrobial necromass are one of the main sources of soil organic carbon (SOC) in terrestrial ecosystems. However, the characteristics of soil amino sugar accumulation and their contribution to the SOC pools across different altitudinal gradients and the ...

Jena Soil Model (JSM v1.0; revision 1934): a microbial soil organic carbon model integrated with nitrogen and phosphorus processes [PDF]
, 2020 Plant–soil interactions, such as the coupling of plants' below-ground biomass allocation with soil organic matter (SOM) decomposition, nutrient release and plant uptake, are essential to understand the response of carbon (C) cycling to global changes ...

Tropical Andean Forests Are Highly Susceptible to Nutrient Inputs - Rapid Effects of Experimental N and P Addition to an Ecuadorian Montane Forest [PDF]
, 2012 Tropical regions are facing increasing atmospheric inputs of nutrients, which will have unknown consequences for the structure and functioning of these systems. Here, we show that Neotropical montane rainforests respond rapidly to moderate additions of N

Firewood extraction affects carbon pools and nutrients in remnant fragments of temperate forests at the Mexican Transvolcanic Belt [PDF]
, 2014 Globally, remnant fragments of forests represent the main carbon reservoir of terrestrial ecosystems, but they suffer strong degradation due to uncontrolled wood extraction mainly by tree cut for household fuel use and charcoal production.

Microbial carbon use efficiency: accounting for population, community, and ecosystem-scale controls over the fate of metabolized organic matter [PDF]
, 2016 Microbial carbon use efficiency (CUE) is a critical regulator of soil organic matter dynamics and terrestrial carbon fluxes, with strong implications for soil biogeochemistry models.

ISME Communications, 2023 Abstract Manipulating microorganisms to increase soil organic carbon (SOC) in croplands remains a challenge. Soil microbes are important drivers of SOC sequestration, especially via their necromass accumulation. However, microbial parameters are rarely used to predict cropland SOC stocks, possibly due to uncertainties regarding the ...

Biotechnology and Bioengineering, EarlyView.Conventional bulk media are often unsuitable for single‐cell cultivation and analysis because they provide excess nutrients or lack essential components. Redesigning the medium allows for controlled, defined growth, enabling the development of a robust minimal medium that supports quantitative and reproducible single‐cell analysis across different ...

Land Degradation &Development, EarlyView.ABSTRACT Forest ecosystem services (ESs) are garnering increasing public attention as awareness grows regarding society's fundamental dependence on them for well‐being. Forest fires, one of the major disturbances of ESs, are becoming more frequent and destructive, exacerbated in part by climate change.

PLANTS, PEOPLE, PLANET, EarlyView.Asian elephants play crucial roles in ecosystem functioning, and their interactions with plants influence above‐ and belowground carbon cycling. We tested whether their mechanically destructive foraging triggers short‐term, stress‐induced shifts in tree root exudation, an underappreciated pathway linking herbivory to belowground carbon processes.

GeodermaSoil microorganisms are key to the flow of carbon through soils. As the most carbon-rich soils, Mollisols are very sensitive to disturbance and more prone to be carbon sources than carbon sinks. To understand how the microbial physiology [i.e., microbial
