Climate change is intensifying the global water cycle, leading to increased frequency of drought and flood. Water plays a crucial role in soil carbon dynamics, and understanding how moisture disturbances affect carbon availability in soils is essential. Microbial communities show site-specific responses to drought and flood, adapting to historic stress conditions at their locations.
Climate change is intensifying the global water cycle, with increased frequency of drought and flood. Water is an important driver of soil carbon dynamics, and it is crucial to understand how moisture disturbances will affect carbon availability and fluxes in soils. Here we investigate the role of water in substrate-microbe connectivity and soil carbon cycling under extreme moisture conditions. We collected soils from Alaska, Florida, and Washington USA, and incubated them under Drought and Flood conditions. Drought had a stronger effect on soil respiration, pore-water carbon, and microbial community composition than flooding. Soil response was not consistent across sites, and was influenced by site-level pedological and environmental factors. Soil texture and porosity can influence microbial access to substrates through the pore network, driving the chemical response. Further, the microbial communities are adapted to the historic stress conditions at their sites and therefore show site-specific responses to drought and flood. Soil texture governs chemical responses of soils to water stress while environmental conditions and disturbance history influence microbial community responses in incubations of soil cores from Alaska, Florida and Washington, USA.
