Long-term pattern and magnitude of soil carbon feedback to the climate system in a warming world
Jerry M. Melillo,Serita D. Frey,Kristen M. DeAngelis,W. J. Werner,M. J. Bernard,Francis P. Bowles,Grace Pold,Melissa Knorr,A. S. Grandy +8 more
TL;DR: In a 26-year soil warming experiment in a mid-latitude hardwood forest, changes in soil carbon cycling are documented to investigate the potential consequences for the climate system and support projections of a long-term, self-reinforcing carbon feedback from mid- latitude forests to theClimate system as the world warms.
Long-term forest soil warming alters microbial communities in temperate forest soils
Kristen M. DeAngelis,Grace Pold,Begüm D. Topçuoğlu,Linda T. A. van Diepen,Rebecca M. Varney,Jeffrey L. Blanchard,Jerry M. Melillo,Serita D. Frey +7 more
TL;DR: Increased bacterial evenness, shifting beta diversity, decreased fungal abundance and increased abundance of bacteria with low rRNA operon copy number together suggest that more or alternative niche space is being created over the course of long-term warming.
Microbial diversity drives carbon use efficiency in a model soil
Luiz A. Domeignoz-Horta,Grace Pold,Xiao Jun Allen Liu,Serita D. Frey,Jerry M. Melillo,Kristen M. DeAngelis +5 more
TL;DR: The results indicate that the diversity × ecosystem-function relationship can be impaired under non-favorable conditions in soils, and that to understand changes in soil C cycling the authors need to account for the multiple facets of global changes.
Changes in substrate availability drive carbon cycle response to chronic warming
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors evaluated the mechanisms by which more than two decades of experimental warming has altered the carbon cycle in a Northeast US temperate deciduous forest and found that concentrations of soil organic matter were reduced in both the organic and mineral soil horizons.
Two decades of warming increases diversity of a potentially lignolytic bacterial community
TL;DR: There is genetic potential for chemically complex soil carbon degradation that may lead to extended elevated soil respiration with long-term warming, and many bacterial operational taxonomic units (OTUs) enriched by the warming treatment, many were enriched uniquely on lignin-amended beads.
