Plant influences on soil microbial carbon pump efficiency

Microbe-mediated carbon transformation plays an important role in soil carbon sequestration, which is considered to be one of the key strategies to achieve carbon neutrality in the long term. Assessing the efficiency of microbial necromass accumulation relative to plant carbon input or microbial respiration will help to identify ways to promote soil carbon sequestration from an ecosystem perspective.
