Interspecific variations in leaf litter decomposition and nutrient release from tropical mangroves

Harikrishna Prasad Mamidala et al.

Summary: Efficient decomposition of leaf litter plays a crucial role in the nutrient cycling and carbon sequestration of mangrove ecosystems. This study investigated the decomposition characteristics and organic carbon supply of leaf litter from four major mangrove species in India. The results showed variations in decomposition rates and released organic carbon among the different species, with S. apetala and R. mucronata exhibiting the highest potential to support the aquatic food web. Additionally, the study highlighted the importance of leaf litter leachates as a food source for microbial communities in coastal waters.

Microbial carbon use efficiency promotes global soil carbon storage

Feng Tao et al.

Summary: Soils store more carbon than other terrestrial ecosystems, but how soil organic carbon (SOC) forms and persists remains uncertain, making it challenging to predict its response to climate change. This study investigates the role of microbial carbon use efficiency (CUE) in SOC persistence and finds that it is at least four times more important than other factors in determining SOC storage. Understanding the environmental dependence of microbial processes underlying CUE may help predict SOC feedback to a changing climate.

Abundant and rare microbiota assembly and driving factors between mangrove and intertidal mudflats

Haihua Wang et al.

Summary: Both abundant and rare microorganisms play important roles in sedimentary biogeochemical processes and have significant impacts on sediment functions. This study investigates the diversity patterns and assemblies of abundant and rare microbes in mangrove and intertidal mudflat sediments. The results show distinct distribution patterns of abundant and rare bacteria and fungi, with significant responses to different environmental variables. The study also reveals closer relationships and enhanced effects of bacterial species compared to fungal taxa, as well as more interactions among microorganisms in the mangrove regions.

Both environmental and spatial variables affect bacterial functional diversity in mangrove sediments at an island scale

Haihua Wang et al.

Summary: The study found that the functional diversity of bacterial communities in mangroves on Hainan Island is influenced by various factors, including spatial and environmental factors. There are context-dependent differences in metabolic activity and functional diversity among different sites, and total carbon, nitrite nitrogen, and salinity are important environmental factors. Moreover, spatial variables play a significant role in determining bacterial functional diversity, providing new insights into studying bacterial biogeographic patterns and impacts on sediment-associated function.

Mangrove diversity enhances plant biomass production and carbon storage in Hainan island, China

Jiankun Bai et al.

Summary: The study found that mangrove species diversity has a positive effect on both mangrove biomass production and soil carbon storage. This effect is more evident in forest communities, and is influenced by structural characteristics such as tree stem diameter and tree density. Additionally, areas with high soil nitrogen content and mean annual precipitation show higher mangrove biomass and carbon storage, indicating a relation between climate factors and soil fertility in driving mangrove carbon storage and diversity patterns.

Seasonal variations in soil physicochemical properties and microbial community structure influenced by Spartina alterniflora invasion and Kandelia obovata restoration

Genmei Lin et al.

Summary: The invasion of Spartina alterniflora and subsequent Kandelia obovata restoration have significant impacts on soil microbial community structures in different seasons. Ten-year restoration areas and native mature Kandelia obovata areas show more similarities in microbial communities. Key environmental factors driving microbial community include total carbon and nitrogen content, carbon-to-nitrogen ratio, and soil pH.

Blue carbon as a natural climate solution

Peter I. Macreadie et al.

Summary: Blue carbon ecosystems, such as mangrove forests, seagrass meadows, and tidal marshes, have the potential to act as significant carbon sinks as well as provide various benefits such as coastal protection and fisheries enhancement. Restoration and protection of these ecosystems have the potential to significantly reduce global emissions and contribute to natural climate solutions. Mangrove protection and restoration may offer the greatest carbon-related benefits, while further research is needed to understand the full potential of other blue carbon ecosystems.

Evidence for large microbial-mediated losses of soil carbon under anthropogenic warming

Pablo Garcia-Palacios et al.

Summary: Anthropogenic warming is expected to accelerate global soil organic carbon losses, leading to increased greenhouse gas emissions and the need for more aggressive emission reduction measures to curb climate change. Studying the interactions between soil microbial communities and temperature, as well as how substrate availability affects SOC loss estimates, is crucial for improving the accuracy and precision of projected losses.
