  • Carbon cycling and priming of soil organic matter decomposition in a forest soil following glucose additions

    Creator:
    Diaz, David D.
    Abstract:
    Soils are a globally significant carbon (C) pool and have the potential to respond to elevated CO2 and environmental changes through positive feedback cycles that enhance the turnover of soil organic matter (SOM). Understanding the mechanisms governing the turnover of SOM is particularly important for modeling the fate of C...

  • Contributions of ammonia-oxidizing bacteria and archaea to nitrification in forest soils

    Creator:
    Lu, Xinda
    Abstract:
    Prior to 2005, ammonia oxidation, the first step of nitrification, was thought mediated mainly by ammonia-oxidizing bacteria (AOB). However, the discovery of Thaumarchaeota carrying the genes coding for the ammonia monooxygenase (AMO) enzyme led to the discovery that ammonia-oxidizing archaea (AOA) also contribute to nitrification. Despite the uptick in studies...
