Soil enzymes are central to ecosystem processes because they mediate numerous
reactions that are essential in biogeochemical cycles. However, how soil enzyme activities …

The physical and chemical changes that accompany permafrost thaw directly influence the
microbial communities that mediate the decomposition of formerly frozen organic matter …

Most trees form symbioses with ectomycorrhizal fungi (EMF) which influence access to
growth-limiting soil resources. Mesocosm experiments repeatedly show that EMF species …

Microbial carbon use efficiency (CUE), a combination of respiration and growth, plays a
central role in the flow of carbon through soil. Carbon-depleted agricultural soils are …

Future climate warming in the Arctic will likely increase the vulnerability of soil carbon stocks
to microbial decomposition. However, it remains uncertain to what extent decomposition …

Microbial carbon use efficiency (CUE) is an important factor driving soil carbon (C)
dynamics. However, microbial CUE could positively, negatively, or neutrally respond to …

Microorganisms have evolved various life-history strategies to survive fluctuating resource
conditions in soils. However, it remains elusive how the life-history strategies of …

Soil salinity affects the microbial carbon use efficiency (CUE) that in turn regulates soil‐
atmosphere gas exchange and soil C sequestration. So far, little is known about CUE in salt …

Soil microbial carbon use efficiency (CUE) has been identified as a critical parameter in
regulating soil organic carbon (SOC) sequestration. Climate change has been shown in …

Tradeoffs in microbial functional traits have been a focus of recently described ecological
frameworks and of mathematical models of microbial community functioning. Tradeoffs in …
