Biochar’s Hydroxyl Radicals Shield Soil Carbon in Acidic Soils by Suppressing Enzymes
Biochar-derived hydroxyl radicals suppress carbon-decomposing enzymes and slow soil carbon loss in acidic soils, though the effect is overridden in ...
Plants Can Pull Carbon From Soil Through Their Roots, Tracer Study Shows
Tracer experiments show Plantago lanceolata and Picea abies seedlings can take up labelled carbon via roots, but recovery in soil ...
Soil Moisture Shapes How Temperature Drives Forest Soil Carbon Loss
Two years of continuous measurements in a South Korean temperate forest show that low soil moisture constrains the temperature response ...
Sea ice supplies carbon equal to 14.7% of ice-edge phytoplankton production
Sea ice in the Southern Ocean supplies particulate organic carbon equivalent to 14.7 percent of phytoplankton production near the ice ...
Pure-culture study links fatty-acid breakdown to methane in one archaeon
A pure-culture study of an archaeon from a Chinese petroleum reservoir shows that fatty-acid oxidation can be coupled directly to ...
Lab tests reveal variable carbon use and heat tolerance in post-fire fungi
A seven-isolate laboratory study found varied growth, heat-tolerance and tissue-chemistry responses among fungi associated with pyrogenic carbon in a frequently ...
Hidden Rock Chemistry Controls How Forest Soils Recycle Carbon and Nitrogen
A new study in southwest China shows that limestone soils harbor significantly higher nutrient-cycling gene abundances than dolostone or clasolite ...
Fire strategies of pines shape which fungi break down their needles
A reciprocal litterbag experiment in Taiwan reveals that fire-tolerant and fire-avoiding pine species drive distinct fungal successions during needle decomposition, ...
From Leaf Chemistry to Microbial Crews: Tree Size Rewrites the Rules of Decomposition
A temperate forest experiment shows that as trees grow larger, the main driver of leaf litter decomposition shifts from litter ...
Mud-Dwelling Seafloor Animals Quietly Steer Carbon Storage in the North Sea
A large-scale survey of the southeastern North Sea's muddy seafloor shows that environmental gradients shape benthic communities in ways that ...
