Improved yield and water storage of the wheat-maize rotation system due to double-blank row mulching during the wheat stage
Mulching techniques have been widely used in dryland regions in northern China. It is necessary to develop water-saving cultivation techniques...
Ecoss graduate student builds ‘Kraken’ to see where carbon will go in warmer streams
Ecoss graduate student Ali Martinez and a team of ecologists including her advisor Marks, Ecoss researchers Ben Koch and Zasha...
Long-term elevated CO2 shifts composition of soil microbial communities in a Californian annual grassland, reducing growth and N utilization potentials
The continuously increasing concentration of atmospheric CO2 has considerably altered ecosystem functioning. However, few studies have examined the long-term (i.e....
Reduced carbon use efficiency and increased microbial turnover with soil warming
Global soil carbon (C) stocks are expected to decline with warming, and changes in microbial processes are key to this...
Drainage enhances modern soil carbon contribution but reduces old soil carbon contribution to ecosystem respiration in tundra ecosystems
Warming temperatures are likely to accelerate permafrost thaw in the Arctic, potentially leading to the release of old carbon previously...
Limited potential of harvest index improvement to reduce methane emissions from rice paddies
Rice is a staple food for nearly half of the world's population, but rice paddies constitute a major source of...
Standardized protocols and procedures can precisely and accurately quantify non-structural carbohydrates
Non-structural carbohydrates (NSCs), the stored products of photosynthesis, building blocks for growth and fuel for respiration, are central to plant...
Ecoss graduate student leads study on addition of fresh carbon to permafrost
Doctoral candidate Elaine Pegoraro designed an experiment to measure how microbes respond to fresh carbon addition at different depths in...
Modeling soil CO2 production and transport with dynamic source and diffusion terms: Testing the steady-state assumption using DETECT v1.0
The flux of CO2 from the soil to the atmosphere (soil respiration, Rsoil) is a major component of the global carbon (C)...
When roads appear jaguars decline: Increased access to an Amazonian wilderness area reduces potential for jaguar conservation
Roads are a main threat to biodiversity conservation in the Amazon, in part, because roads increase access for hunters. We...
