Soil nitrogen and climate drive the positive effect of biological soil crusts on soil organic carbon sequestration in drylands: A Meta-analysis

Hengkang Xu et al.

Summary: Our meta-analysis showed that BSCs can significantly increase SOC concentration, especially in deserts. Mosses and lichens have a stronger effect on SOC compared to algal crusts, and mixed crusts accumulate more SOC than single crusts. Soil N and P dynamics play a significant role in regulating the capacity of BSCs to fix and store carbon.

Divergent mineralization of hydrophilic and hydrophobic organic substrates and their priming effect in soils depending on their preferential utilization by bacteria and fungi

Shaohong Deng et al.

Summary: This study investigated the mineralization and priming effect of hydrophilic and hydrophobic organic compounds extracted from (13)C-labelled maize residues when incubated with soils. Results showed that the metabolism rate and priming effect of these compounds varied between different microbial groups and soil types. The findings highlight the importance of understanding microbial mechanisms in the stabilization and destabilization processes of soil organic matter.

High temperatures enhance the microbial genetic potential to recycle C and N from necromass in high-mountain soils

Johanna Donhauser et al.

Summary: Research on high-mountain soils in the Swiss Alps shows that under high-temperature conditions, microbial communities exhibit higher activity, promoting bacterial growth and organic matter degradation. Additionally, at high temperatures, there is a shift in microbial N-cycling potential towards N mineralization and assimilation, with reduced potential for conversions among inorganic N forms.

Extracellular enzyme activity and stoichiometry: The effect of soil microbial element limitation during leaf litter decomposition

Xuejuan Bai et al.

Summary: The study investigated the temporal variability of soil microbial biomass and associated soil enzyme activities during leaf litter decomposition, highlighting how soil microorganisms maintain element homeostasis of C, N, and P by producing soil enzymes. Results showed that soil enzyme activities were highest in summer, while soil microbial biomass carbon and nitrogen peaked in winter. Significant effects of soil water content and temperature on soil enzyme activities and stoichiometry were observed, with changes in the stoichiometry of extracellular enzyme activities between different stages of litter decomposition. Strong positive correlations between microbial element limitation indicators and soil enzyme activities suggest that microorganisms allocate resources towards enzyme production to mine for scarce nutrients, contributing to element homeostasis maintenance.

Coupling the resource stoichiometry and microbial biomass turnover to predict nutrient mineralization and immobilization in soil

Petr Capek et al.

Summary: Our study found that the capability of microbial community to reduce its demand for external nutrients is responsible for the difference between the predictions and observations. The active part of microbial community instantly recycled N from decaying part of microbial community and very likely utilized internal P sources (i.e. polyphosphates). The results suggest that N recycling from dead microbial biomass and the internal microbial P sources warrant further investigation.

Biological mechanisms may contribute to soil carbon saturation patterns

Summary: The saturation of mineral-associated SOC may be a result of ecological constraints on microbial biomass, leading to a reduced rate of SOC formation as C inputs increase. Understanding how these ecological factors limit microbial populations will help predict and manage soil C dynamics.

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.

Summary: This study provides regional-scale data on MNC accumulation in alpine grasslands of the Qinghai-Tibet Plateau, showing that the grasslands have low MNC concentrations in SOC due to high aridity and low net primary productivity. The findings highlight the influences of climate and plant factors on MNC accumulation at regional scales.

What are the products of enzymatic cleavage of organic N?

Charles Warren

Summary: Organic nitrogen in soils is often too large for plants to directly uptake, as it needs to be cleaved into smaller units by extracellular enzymes. A study was conducted to identify and quantify the products of enzymatic cleavage of organic nitrogen and found that amino acids and small peptides are the primary compounds produced. This research suggests that amino acids and peptides play a significant role in nitrogen cycling, while nucleic acids and lipids may also contribute to nitrogen supply and warrant further investigation.

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.

Summary: Scientific knowledge should serve humanity by promoting the application of biocrusts to increase soil organic carbon storage and reduce greenhouse gas emissions. However, challenges in applying biocrusts in agriculture include competition with native microbiota, difficulty in large-scale application, insufficient studies on carbon balance, and a lack of research evaluating the contribution of biocrust weathering to carbon sequestration.

Microbial tradeoffs in internal and external use of resources regulated by phosphorus and carbon availability

Nataliya Bilyera et al.

Summary: A common strategy in modern agriculture to reduce phosphorus fertilization is relying on microbial efficiency in acquiring and recycling phosphorus from organic sources. The study found that phosphorus limitation was stronger than carbon limitation, and microbial utilization of phosphorus depended on microbial activity state. Different microbial activity states showed contrasting phosphorus utilization strategies, with dormant microorganisms investing most phosphorus in ATP production, while phosphorus-limited microorganisms accelerated phosphatase production to mine phosphorus in organic sources.

Summary: Biocrusts play a significant role in the biogeochemical cycles, impacting the composition and stability of organic matter in soil. The structure of biocrust communities and predominant tree species both influence the organic matter composition, with biocrust organisms having a dominant effect. High OM mineralization potential is observed in biocrusts due to specific ratios of carbohydrates, ketones, and fatty acids.
