Soil neutral sugars are a significant component of labile soil organic carbon (SOC) and are derived from both plant and microbial biomass. While plants synthesize both pentose and hexose neutral sugars, microbes almost exclusively produce hexoses. Hexose to pentose ratios in soil thus potentially indicate the extent to which microbes process labile SOC. In this study, we used the ratio of galactose...
Litter decomposition is a major driver of nutrient availability and carbon (C) cycling in forest ecosystems, and may be susceptible to perturbation by exogenous nutrient inputs from anthropogenic activity. The role of resource limitation in this process is unclear, although some models suggest the macronutrients nitrogen (N) and phosphorus (P) stimulate early-stage decomposition while availability...
Microorganisms participate in soil carbon storage by contributing biomass in the form of refractory microbial cell components. However, despite the important contribution of microbial biomass residues to the stable carbon pool, little is known about how the contribution of these residues to soil carbon storage varies as a function of depth. In this study, we evaluated microbial residue biomarkers...
