From energy to (soil organic) matter

Anna Gunina et al.

Summary: In this paper, a new perspective on the formation of soil organic matter (SOM) is proposed, suggesting that microorganisms primarily use organic matter as energy rather than as a source of carbon. SOM accumulates as a by-product of microbial decomposition, where the energy investment in decomposition exceeds the energy gain. The energy stored in SOM is less available compared to litter, explaining why SOM is not fully mineralized. The energy from litter activates decomposers to extract nutrients from SOM, as the nutrient content in SOM is higher than in litter. Therefore, the energy captured by photosynthesis is the main reason why microorganisms utilize organic matter, with SOM acting as a residual by-product of nutrient storage and energy flux mediation.

Down-regulation of the bacterial protein biosynthesis machinery in response to weeks, years, and decades of soil warming

Andrea Sollinger et al.

Summary: This study investigated the physiological responses of soil microorganisms to medium-term and long-term warming in subarctic grassland. The results revealed a down-regulation of the bacterial protein biosynthesis machinery in the warmed soils, which coincided with a decrease in microbial biomass, RNA, and soil substrate content.

Soil aggregate-mediated microbial responses to long-term warming

Xiao Jun Allen Liu et al.

Summary: The study found that long-term soil warming did not reduce the physical protection of soil organic matter, but it did have an impact on the carbon and nitrogen concentrations and extracellular enzyme activity in the soil. Long-term warming had little effect on soil microbial carbon use efficiency or microbial biomass turnover time, as it reduced both growth and respiration, but carbon use efficiency was less temperature sensitive in macroaggregates from the warmed plots.

Variation in hyphal production rather than turnover regulates standing fungal biomass in temperate hardwood forests

Soil microbial sensitivity to temperature remains unchanged despite community compositional shifts along geothermal gradients

Gabriel Y. K. Moinet et al.

Summary: The study found that soil microbial communities adapt to long-term warming, but substrate quality and quantity exert a stronger influence on selecting for distinct thermal traits than temperature.

Fungal community response to long-term soil warming with potential implications for soil carbon dynamics

Gregory J. Pec et al.

Summary: A study conducted at Harvard Forest found that long-term soil warming led to compositional shifts in soil fungal communities, particularly in the saprotrophic and unknown components, while short-term warming did not have a significant impact. Soil warming resulted in declines in soil C concentrations and total C stored in the organic horizon. Furthermore, after long-term warming, changes in fungal guild relative abundances were associated with substantial alterations in soil organic matter chemistry, particularly the abundance of lignin.

Biogeochemical evolution of soil organic matter composition after a decade of warming and nitrogen addition

Lori VandenEnden et al.

Summary: Forest soils, acting as a carbon sink, are greatly affected by global environmental changes such as increasing temperatures and nitrogen deposition. The molecular composition of soil organic matter is altered by warming and nitrogen addition, impacting the decomposition process. Results suggest that the effects of nitrogen addition and warming on soil organic matter are not simply additive but interact in complex ways.

The Transcriptional Response of Soil Bacteria to Long-Term Warming and Short-Term Seasonal Fluctuations in a Terrestrial Forest

Priyanka Roy Chowdhury et al.

Summary: The study indicates that long-term climate warming has a significant impact on microbial degradation of carbon in the soil, potentially accelerating the carbon cycle in heated plots. Furthermore, it was found that heating leads to increased expression of specific enzymes in soil, particularly those related to carbohydrate and lipid metabolism.
