Depth-dependent drivers of soil microbial necromass carbon across Tibetan alpine grasslands

Mei He et al.

Summary: The study found a relatively low proportion of microbial necromass carbon in Tibetan alpine grasslands compared to global grasslands, with different major determinants of microbial necromass carbon in topsoil and subsoil. The findings suggest that soil depth plays a crucial role in determining the drivers of microbial necromass carbon and should be considered in Earth system models for accurate predictions of soil carbon dynamics and its feedback to global warming.

Nitrogen addition promotes soil phosphorus availability in the subalpine forest of eastern Tibetan Plateau

Ye Liu et al.

Summary: The study found that high N deposition rate can promote soil P availability in subalpine forests, while N addition did not alter the vertical distribution patterns of soil P. Soil moisture, pH, soil organic carbon, dissolved organic carbon, and microbial biomass controlled the vertical distribution of phosphorus.

Phosphorus addition decreases microbial residual contribution to soil organic carbon pool in a tropical coastal forest

Ye Yuan et al.

Summary: Soil nutrient availability and aggregate fractions affect the concentrations of soil microbial residues and their contribution to SOC accumulation in tropical coastal forests. Continuous phosphorus addition decreases microbial residues and their contribution to SOC, while nitrogen addition has little effect. The mechanisms driving microbial residue responses to increased N and P availability may differ, with P-induced reductions potentially impacting SOC stability in N-rich and P-poor tropical forests.

Long-term, amplified responses of soil organic carbon to nitrogen addition worldwide

Chonghua Xu et al.

Summary: The study found that nitrogen addition significantly increased global SOC content, with the increase amplified over time in both organic and mineral soil layers. The increase mainly resulted from enhanced plant carbon input to soils coupled with reduced carbon loss from decomposition.

Nitrogen and phosphorus additions accelerate decomposition of slow carbon pool and lower total soil organic carbon pool in alpine meadows

Jin Hua Li et al.

Summary: Long-term nitrogen and phosphorus additions decreased soil organic carbon content and stocks in alpine meadows on the Tibetan Plateau, accelerating microbial decomposition of recalcitrant SOC. This led to declines in slow C pool and total SOC pool but increases in active C pool.

Decadal nitrogen addition alters chemical composition of soil organic matter in a boreal forest

Shun Hasegawa et al.

Summary: This study examined the impact of long-term nitrogen addition on the chemical composition of soil organic matter in a mature boreal forest, finding that nitrogen enrichment led to compositional shifts in the soil organic matter towards increased lignin derivatives and selective accumulation of these compounds. Additionally, the study suggested that microbial nitrogen processing played a role in soil accumulation of fertilizer-derived nitrogen, highlighting the key role of lignin-derived compounds for nitrogen-induced soil organic matter accumulation.

Large-scale importance of microbial carbon use efficiency and necromass to soil organic carbon

Chao Wang et al.

Summary: The study explored the effects of biotic and abiotic factors on soil organic carbon (SOC) content, finding a strong correlation between SOC and soil microbial biomass carbon (MBC) and amino sugar (AS) concentration. Microbial C use efficiency (CUE) and MBC were identified as key factors influencing SOC variations along a national-scale transect. The study confirms the importance of incorporating microbial biomass and necromass pools in Earth system models under global change scenarios.

Microbial metabolic response to winter warming stabilizes soil carbon

Jing Tian et al.

Summary: The study reveals that winter warming on the Tibetan Plateau results in reduced microbial decomposition and enhanced physical protection of organic compounds in soil, leading to the enhanced physical preservation of SOC. This divergent response of SOC persistence to winter warming compared to year-round warming highlights the important role of soil microorganisms in aggregate life cycles and suggests potential negative feedbacks to global climate change.

Contrasting pathways of carbon sequestration in paddy and upland soils

Xiangbi Chen et al.

Summary: Rice soils have a higher efficiency in organic carbon sequestration, influenced by climate and land use types. Plant-derived organic carbon contributes the most under moderate temperatures and neutral soil conditions, while microbial-derived organic carbon is enhanced under high temperatures and low soil pH conditions.

Tradeoffs among microbial life history strategies influence the fate of microbial residues in subtropical forest soils

Pengshuai Shao et al.

Summary: The study found that microbial residue concentrations were significantly higher in secondary forests and strongly associated with several abundant microbial taxa, such as Ascomycota, Proteobacteria, Gemmatimonadetes. Microbial communities in resource-rich secondary forests were also associated with high growth yields and soil organic carbon accrual, while nutrient-limited primary forests were dominated by microorganisms employing resource-acquisition strategies. This suggests that the microbial life history traits can be used to link microbial community composition and metabolic processes with the turnover and transformation of soil organic carbon.

Microbial necromass as the source of soil organic carbon in global ecosystems

Baorong Wang et al.

Summary: Microbial necromass contributes significantly to SOC sequestration, with higher contributions in grassland and forest soils compared to cropland soils. Fungal necromass has a larger contribution to SOC than bacterial necromass, with the ratio of fungal:bacterial necromass increasing from croplands to forests. Additionally, factors such as temperature and soil pH affect the accumulation of fungal and bacterial necromass in different ecosystems.
