Global patterns and drivers of soil microbial nitrogen and phosphorus use efficiency - Nature Communications Soil microbes recycle nutrients, but their global nutrient use efficiency is poorly understood. This study finds microbial nitrogen-use efficiency is nearly twice phosphorus-use efficiency, driven by ...

🌱 Exciting news – @eco-future.bsky.social launched yesterday, April 1!

Our #TERRA Future Lab is part of an effort to develope EcoFuture KAP4, a sustainable biochar-based fertilizer that closes local nutrient cycles for organic farming – funded by the @mwk-bw.bsky.social MWK Baden-Württemberg.🚜

Localized fertilizer co-applied with biochar suspension can increase phosphorus uptake by maize while enabling carbon-sequestration benefits - Plant and Soil Background and aims Integrating biochar (BC) into agriculture promotes sustainable management of farm residues and carbon sequestration in soil. This study evaluates a novel approach combining suspend...

Contrasting fine root-induced rhizosphere priming effects between coniferous and broadleaved trees - Biology and Fertility of Soils The rhizosphere priming effects (RPE) influence soil organic carbon (SOC) decomposition at the root-soil interface. However, whether different tree species affect the direction and intensity of RPE ha...
