Most mineral-associated organic matter (MAOM) is protected against microbial attack, thereby contributing to long-term carbon storage in soils. However, the extent which reactive compounds released by plants and microbes may destabilize MAOM so enhance access, as well underlying mechanisms, remain unclear. Here, we tested ability of functionally distinct model exudates-ligands, reductants, simple sugars-to promote utilization monomeric MAOM, bound via outer-sphere complexes common iron...
Abstract Numerical models are crucial to understand and/or predict past and future soil organic carbon dynamics. For those aiming at prediction, validation is a critical step gain confidence in projections. With comprehensive review of ~250 models, we assess how validated depending on their objectives features, discuss predictive can be improved. We find lack independent using observed time series. Conducting such validations should priority improve the model reliability. Approximately 60%...
Climate-smart agriculture aims amongst others at protecting and increasing soil organic carbon (SOC) stocks. The allocation of metabolised (C) between microbial growth respiration, i.e. C use efficiency (CUE) is crucial for SOC dynamics. We hypothesised that raising pH would alleviate CUE-limiting conditions liming could thus increase CUE, thereby supporting accrual. This study investigated whether CUE can be manipulated by how this might contribute to stock changes. effects on biomass C,...
Microbial carbon-use efficiency (CUE) in soils captures carbon (C) partitioning between anabolic biosynthesis of microbial metabolites and catabolic C emissions (i.e. respiratory waste). The use for provides a potential the accumulation metabolic residues soil. Recognised as crucial control cycling, CUE is implemented majority soil models. Due to models' high sensitivity CUE, reliable projections demand accurate quantifications. Current measurements neglect non-growth metabolites, such...
ABSTRACT Microbial transformation of soil organic matter plays a critical role in carbon (C) cycling making it essential to understand how land use and management practices influence microbial physiology its connection C dynamics. One factor that is likely impact crop diversification via on belowground diversity (e.g., chemical heterogeneity inputs, community composition). However, the effect measures potential effects agricultural soils still unclear. To address this knowledge gap, we...

Structure liming aims to improve soil structure (i.e., the spatial arrangement of particles and pores) its stability against external internal forces. Effects lime application on have received considerable interest, but only a few studies investigated effects macro- mesopore networks. We used X-ray computed tomography image macropore networks (ø ≥ 0.3 mm) in columns mesopores 0.01 aggregates from three field sites with (silty) clay soils after (3.1 t ha−1 or 5 CaO equivalent). Segmented...
Bringing a sustainable population of Atlantic salmon (Salmo salar) back into the Rhine, after species became extinct in 1950s, is an important environmental ambition with efforts made both by governments and civil society. Our analysis finds significant risk failure reintroduction because projected increases water temperatures changing climate. This suggests need to rethink current ambitions or start developing adaptive action. The paper shows that moment at which may fail due climate change...
The allocation of metabolised carbon (C) between soil microbial growth and respiration, i.e. C use efficiency (CUE) is crucial for SOC dynamics. pH was shown to be a major driver CUE in agricultural soils therefore, management practices control pH, such as liming, could serve tool modify physiology. We hypothesised that raising would alleviate CUE-limiting conditions liming thus increase CUE, thereby supporting accrual. This study investigated whether can manipulated by how this might...
