Climate change increases the frequency and intensity of drought events, affecting soil
functions including carbon sequestration and nutrient cycling, which are driven by growing …

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

It is of great importance to understand how terrestrial ecosystems will respond to global
changes. However, most experimental approaches have focused on single factors. In …

Soil organic matter (SOM) decomposition and stabilisation are largely affected by microbial
carbon use efficiency (CUE), which is defined as the proportion of substrate carbon (C) …

Soil microbial growth, respiration, and carbon (C) use efficiency (CUE) are essential
parameters to understand, describe and model the soil carbon cycle. While seasonal …

Ecosystem models commonly use stable‐state assumptions to predict responses of soil
microbial functions to environmental change. However, past climatic conditions can shape …

Drought causes alterations in the abundance of fungi and bacteria in soil, which could affect
community level microbial carbon use efficiency (CUE) and the capacity to store C in soil …

Soil microorganisms control the fate of soil organic carbon. Warming may accelerate their
activities putting large carbon stocks at risk of decomposition. Existing knowledge about …

Pre-treatment of soil samples prior to analysis is acknowledged to affect microbial activity
and community parameters, but recommendations are diverging and there are no best …

Soil microbial growth rate and microbial carbon use efficiency (CUE) are critical parameters
of soil microbial carbon metabolism, moderating soil organic carbon (SOC) dynamics …
