Nutrient Dynamics in a Warmer World: Nitrogen Uptake by Trees [PDF]

, 2012
Climate models project a reduced snowpack depth and delay of the onset of its seasonal formation in the northeastern United States over the next 100 years. Reduction of the snowpack leaves soils exposed to freezing air temperatures, which can induce soil

Necromass chemistry drives the functional diversity of the necrobiome, resulting in microbe–organic matter feedbacks

Functional Ecology, EarlyView.
Read the free Plain Language Summary for this article on the Journal blog. Abstract In temperate European forests, soil fungal communities, dominated by saprotrophic and ectomycorrhizal (ECM) species, represent almost 25% of soil organic carbon (C) in the soil.

Decomposition of coarse woody debris in a long-term litter manipulation experiment: A focus on nutrient availability [PDF]

, 2018
The majority of above-ground carbon in tropical forests is stored in wood, which is returned to the atmosphere during decomposition of coarse woody debris.

Rhizosphere priming promotes plant nitrogen acquisition by microbial necromass recycling

Plant, Cell & Environment
AbstractNitrogen availability in the rhizosphere relies on root‐microorganism interactions, where root exudates trigger soil organic matter (SOM) decomposition through the rhizosphere priming effect (RPE). Though microbial necromass contribute significantly to organically bound soil nitrogen (N), the role of RPEs in regulating necromass recycling and ...

Phosphorus gradient yields threshold MAOC response governed by microbial and stoichiometric controls

Functional Ecology, EarlyView.
Read the free Plain Language Summary for this article on the Journal blog. Abstract Phosphorus (P) availability is a key factor that mediates the formation of mineral‐associated organic carbon (MAOC) in soils, yet reported responses to P fertilization are often inconsistent.

Long‐term warming drives mineral‐associated organic carbon accumulation on the Tibetan Plateau

Functional Ecology, EarlyView.
Read the free Plain Language Summary for this article on the Journal blog. Abstract Global warming affects both plant growth and soil microbial decomposition, creating uncertainty for the storage and persistence of soil organic carbon (SOC) stock. Limited decomposition rates often characterise cold alpine ecosystems.

Ecosystem-level warming reduces microbial necromass in the topsoil but not in deeper soil of a subtropical forest

Geoderma
Rising temperatures in subtropical regions pose a significant challenge to soil carbon (C) storage. Microbial necromass is an important contributor to the persistent soil C pool, yet little is known about its responses to warming in subtropical forest ...

Virocell Necromass Provides Limited Plant Nitrogen and Elicits Rhizosphere Metabolites That Affect Phage Dynamics

Plant, Cell &Environment, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Bacteriophages impact soil bacteria through lysis, altering the availability of organic carbon and plant nutrients. However, the magnitude of nutrient uptake by plants from lysed bacteria remains unknown, partly because this process is challenging to investigate in the field.

The Microbial Necrobiome Involved in the Soil Decomposition Process

Bulletin of University of Agricultural Sciences and Veterinary Medicine Cluj-Napoca: Agriculture
Soil microorganisms play a key role in carbon and nutrient cycling processes, which includes the creation and decomposition of soil organic matter (SOM).
