Soil models include a key parameter known as carbon use efficiency, which impacts estimates of global carbon storage by determining the flow of carbon into soil pools versus the atmosphere. Microbial-explicit versions of these models are due for an update that recasts carbon use efficiency as an output variable emerging from microbial metabolism.

重新思考土壤模型中的微生物碳利用效率


土壤模型包括一个称为碳利用效率的关键参数，该参数通过确定进入土壤池的碳流量与大气中的碳流量来影响全球碳储存的估计。这些模型的微生物显式版本应该进行更新，将碳利用效率重新塑造为微生物代谢中出现的输出变量。
