Combining a global dataset of paired observations with outputs from four land surface models, the authors show that microbial growth rate is a more reliable and informative predictor of soil organic carbon than carbon use efficiency 🧪 www.nature.com/articles/s41...
Microbial carbon use efficiency is a strong predictor of soil organic carbon stocks. Here the authors reveal that the microbial growth rate is a more reliable and informative predictor, and that model...
