Functional succession of actively growing soil microorganisms during rewetting is shaped by precipitation history

ET Sieradzki, A Greenlon, AM Nicolas, MK Firestone… - BioRxiv, 2022 - biorxiv.org
Background Rewetting of seasonally dry soils induces a burst of microbial activity and
carbon mineralization that changes nutrient availability and leads to taxonomic succession …

Divergent microbial traits influence the transformation of living versus dead root inputs to soil carbon

NW Sokol, MM Foley, SJ Blazewicz, A Battacharyya… - bioRxiv, 2022 - biorxiv.org
Soil microorganisms influence the global carbon cycle by transforming plant inputs into soil
organic carbon (SOC), but the microbial traits that facilitate this process are unresolved …
