Nonlinear microbial thermal response and its implications for abrupt soil organic carbon responses to warming

This study leverages the empirical datasets and microbial-explicit SOC model to show a thermal threshold of microbial CUE and heterotrophic respiration at 15 °C, implying a potential abrupt transition to more vulnerable SOC under climate warming.

Soil microbial respiration adapts to ambient temperature in global drylands

Undertaking an incubation study on soil collected from 110 dryland sites across the world, the authors show that the response of soil microbial respiration to temperature is consistent with that of adaptation to the ambient thermal regime.

Evidence for large microbial-mediated losses of soil carbon under anthropogenic warming

Degradation of soil organic carbon is expected to accelerate with increasing global temperatures, but the magnitude of change is controversial. This Perspective discusses evidence supporting a large loss of soil organic carbon and its broader significance.
