Soil bacterial neutral lipid fatty acids: Markers for carbon storage or necromass?
Intracellular carbon storage is a common strategy of soil microbes to cope with resource fluctuations. While fungal neutral lipid fatty acids (NLFAs) …

We’re excited to share Akeem Shorunke’s work on understanding and quantifying N2O emissions from decomposing crop residues using stable isotopes and microbial community profiling.
Evidence of the need for crop-specific N2O emission factors
Crop residues are an important source of N for subsequent crops and contribute to cropping system nitrous oxide (N2O) emissions. Oilseed residues, par…

Also just out - Amanda Mitchell’s excellent work on thermodynamic efficiency of microbial C cycling in erosion-buried topsoils
Thermodynamics of microbial decomposition of persistent carbon in erosion-buried topsoils
Hillslope erosion in hummocky landscapes can lead to the accumulation of C-rich topsoil in depositional positions that eventually becomes buried if er…
