Transgenic Mixed‐Linkage‐Glucan Enhancement Affects Root Characteristics and Decomposition in Soils of Contrasting Vegetation History

GCB Bioenergy, Volume 18, Issue 10, October 2026.
Incubations with fine and coarse roots of transgenic and wild type bioenergy sorghum showed that transgenic roots had higher content of mixed‐linkage glucan and resulted in greater soil microbial biomass than the roots of the vector control plants.

Moso bamboo expansion into subtropical coniferous forests reduces microbial carbon use efficiency and destabilizes soil organic carbon

Industrial Crops and Products
Moso bamboo (Phyllostachys edulis) is a fast-growing industrial crop, but its ongoing expansion into native forests may compromise soil organic carbon (SOC) stability.

Ectomycorrhizal Cortinariaceae species dominate class II peroxidase gene expression in a boreal forest soil

New Phytologist, Volume 252, Issue 1, Page 400-413, October 2026.
Share of transcripts and ITS2 sequence for each gene families among identified fungal contigs and OTUs. Summary Boreal forest ecosystems constitute a large terrestrial reservoir of carbon. In these nitrogen‐limited environments, release of nutrients through decomposition of soil organic matter is of fundamental importance.

Fungal necromass drives MAOC accrual in SOC pools across altitudinal gradients of Potentilla parvifolia in the Qilian Mountains, Northwest China

Microbiology Spectrum
Soil organic carbon (SOC) plays a critical role in global carbon cycling and climate regulation, particularly in high-altitude permafrost regions. However, the impact of altitudinal gradients of alpine shrubs on SOC fractions remains poorly understood ...

High Tree Species Diversity Promotes Thermal Enhancement Response of Microbial Carbon Use Efficiency

Advanced Science, Volume 13, Issue 53, 24 September 2026.
ABSTRACT Predicting soil carbon dynamics under warming is constrained by limited understanding of microbial thermal adaptation, particularly whether microbial carbon use efficiency (CUE) can adapt to warming and how plant diversity modulates this response. Using soils from a natural tree species diversity gradient in a subtropical forest, we combined a

Contribution of soil microbial necromass carbon to soil organic carbon fractions and its influencing factors in different grassland types [PDF]

SOIL
Microbial necromass carbon (MNC) is a significant source of soil organic carbon (SOC). However, the contribution of microbial necromass to different organic carbon fractions and their influencing factors in various soil layers under different grassland ...

Microbiome‐mediated plant‐soil feedbacks as a tool for resilient agriculture

iMetaOmics, Volume 3, Issue 3, September 2026.
Translating plant‐soil feedbacks (PSFs) into reliable agricultural management requires shifting from input‐dependent practices toward endogenous, process‐driven crop resilience. To bridge this gap, we propose a predictive framework centered on three strategic interventions: engineering the crop holobiont, diversifying the soil habitat, and deploying ...

Long-term sheep grazing reduces fungal necromass carbon contribution to soil organic carbon in the desert steppe

Frontiers in Microbiology
Grazing has been shown to impact the soil environment and microbial necromass carbon (MNC), which in turn regulates soil organic carbon (SOC). However, the carbon sequestration potential of fungi and bacteria under different stocking rates remains ...

Divergent mechanisms driving microbial necromass in topsoil and subsoil along an altitudinal gradient on the Loess Plateau

Geoderma
Microbial 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 ...

Distribution and accumulation mechanism of microbial necromass carbon in global grassland ecosystems

Ecological Indicators
Microbial necromass carbon (MNC) plays a vital role as a contributor to the persistent soil carbon pool in terrestrial ecosystems. However, the distribution and accumulation mechanism of MNC in various grassland types have not been quantified globally.
