Improving measurements of microbial growth, death, and turnover by accounting for extracellular DNA in soils Soil (IF 5.8) Pub Date : 2024-07-19 Jörg Schnecker, Theresa Böckle, Julia Horak, Victoria Martin, Taru Sandén, Heide Spiegel
Abstract. Microbial respiration, growth, and turnover are driving processes in the formation and decomposition of soil organic matter. In contrast to respiration and growth, microbial turnover and death currently lack distinct methods to be determined. Here we propose a new approach to determine microbial death rates and to improve measurements of microbial growth. By combining sequential DNA extraction

Abstract. Companies increasingly view soil degradation in their supply chains as a commercial risk. They have applied sustainability standards to manage environmental risks stemming from suppliers' farming operations. To examine the application of supply chain sustainability standards in soil protection, we conducted a study using global data on existing sustainability standards and their use in the

Isotopic exchangeability reveals that soil phosphate is mobilised by carboxylate anions whereas acidification had the reverse effect Soil (IF 5.8) Pub Date : 2024-07-18 Siobhan Staunton, Chiara Pistocchi
Abstract. Mineral P is an increasingly scarce resource and therefore the mobilisation of legacy soil P must be optimised to maintain soil fertility. We have used isotopic exchangeability to probe the lability of native soil P in four contrasting soils following acidification and the addition of carboxylate anions (citrate and oxalate) in soil suspension. Acidification tended to cause immobilisation

A deep learning approach for high‐resolution mapping of Scottish peatland degradation Eur. J. Soil Sci.

Aitkenhead
Peat makes up approximately a quarter of Scotland's soil by area. Healthy, undisturbed, peatland habitats are critical to providing resilient biodiversity and habitat support, water management, and carbon sequestration. A high and stable water table is a prerequisite to maintain carbon sink function; any drainage turns this major terrestrial carbon store into a source that feeds back further to global

Soil compaction and soil bulk density are key soil properties affecting soil health and soil ecosystem services like crop production, water retention and purification and carbon sequestration. The standard method for soil bulk density measurements using Kopecky rings is very labour intensive, time consuming and leaves notable damage to the field. Accurate data on bulk density are therefore scarce.

Abstract. It is unequivocal that human activities have increased emissions of greenhouse gases, that this is causing warming, and that these changes will be irreversible for centuries to millennia. Here, we show that our near-complete reliance on soil to produce the rapidly increasing quantities of food being demanded by humans has caused soil to release profound amounts of greenhouse gases that are

Genomic evidence suggests that lysogenic viruses significantly influence the evolution of their host communities and soil microbial ecology and functionality. However, the response of soil viral reproductive strategies (VRS) to environmental factors, in particular soil water stress, remains poorly understood.

Soil organic carbon storage in soil carbon models is highly sensitive to microbial carbon use efficiency (CUE); thus, to reliably predict C storage requires quantifying the response of CUE to warming. By conducting a meta-analysis of 87 observations from field warming experiments worldwide, we found that field warming has no significant effect on CUE, which remains constant at 0.35 ± 0.19 (mean ± SD)

An adiabatic boundary condition with cylindrical perfect conductors for improved approximations from heat-pulse measurement near the soil-atmosphere interface Geoderma (IF 5.6) Pub Date : 2024-07-14 Wei Peng, Yili Lu, Tusheng Ren, Robert Horton
The cylindrical-perfect-conductors (CPC) theory, which assumes an infinite and homogeneous soil medium, can be used to analyze heat pulse (HP) measurements to estimate soil thermal property values. However, when a HP sensor is positioned near the soil surface, the CPC theory is not valid because of the change in media properties at the soil-atmosphere interface. In this study, a CPC solution considering

Microbial metabolic traits drive the differential contribution of microbial necromass to soil organic carbon between the rhizosphere of absorptive roots and transport roots Soil Biol. Biochem.

The rhizosphere is a typical soil microbial hotspot, however, not a homogeneous entity. Due to root functional differentiation, different root functional modules (i.e., absorptive roots and transport roots) can play distinct roles in microbial necromass formation and subsequent soil organic carbon (SOC) sequestration by influencing microbial metabolic activity in the surrounding soil. Yet, how microbial

The wetting–drying (WD) cycles, caused by natural or anthropogenic processes such as rainfall or irrigation, can affect many soil properties. Among these properties, soil aggregate stability has been introduced as a convenient soil health indicator because of its relation to the soil’s primary particles (sand, silt, and clay) and organic matter content (OM). However, previous studies have shown erratic
