Global variation in vegetation carbon use efficiency inferred from eddy covariance observations. [PDF]

Nat Ecol Evol
Terrestrial ecosystems have been serving as a strong carbon sink that offsets one-quarter of anthropogenic CO2 emissions. Carbon use efficiency (CUE), the percentage of photosynthesized carbon that is available for biomass production and other secondary carbon products, is one factor determining the carbon sink size. The global variation in CUE remains

Loss of vegetation functions during the Paleocene–Eocene Thermal Maximum [PDF]

Nature Communications
The Paleocene–Eocene Thermal Maximum (PETM) around 56 million years ago was a 5–6°C global warming event that lasted for approximately 200 kyr. A warming-induced loss and a 70–100 kyr lagged recovery of biospheric carbon stocks was suggested to have ...

Soil Organic Carbon Increases With Decreasing Microbial Carbon Use Efficiency During Vegetation Restoration

Global Change Biology
ABSTRACTMicrobial carbon (C) use efficiency (CUE) describes the proportion of organic C used by microorganisms for anabolic processes, which increases with soil organic C (SOC) content on a global scale. However, it is unclear whether a similar relationship exists during natural vegetation restoration in terrestrial ecosystems.
