Heterotrophic Soil Respiration in Warming Experiments: Using Microbial Indicators to Partition Contributions from Labile and Recalcitrant Soil Organic Carbon. Final Report

Technical Report Bradford, M A ; Melillo, J M ; Reynolds, J F ; ...

The central objective of the proposed work was to develop a genomic approach (nucleic acid-based) that elucidates the mechanistic basis for the observed impacts of experimental soil warming on forest soil respiration. The need to understand the mechanistic basis arises from the importance of such information for developing effective adaptation strategies for dealing with projected climate change. Specifically, robust predictions of future climate will permit the tailoring of the most effective adaptation efforts. And one of the greatest uncertainties in current global climate models is whether there will be a net loss of carbon from soils to the atmosphere asmore »« less

Annual Removal of Aboveground Plant Biomass Alters Soil Microbial Responses to Warming

Journal Article Xue, Kai ; Yuan, Mengting M. ; Xie, Jianping ; ... - mBio (Online)

Clipping (i.e., harvesting aboveground plant biomass) is common in agriculture and for bioenergy production. However, microbial responses to clipping in the context of climate warming are poorly understood. We investigated the interactive effects of grassland warming and clipping on soil properties and plant and microbial communities, in particular, on microbial functional genes. Clipping alone did not change the plant biomass production, but warming and clipping combined increased the C4 peak biomass by 47% and belowground net primary production by 110%. Clipping alone and in combination with warming decreased the soil carbon input from litter by 81% and 75%, respectively. Withmore »« less

Long-Term Warming in Alaska Enlarges the Diazotrophic Community in Deep Soils

Journal Article Feng, Jiajie ; Penton, C. Ryan ; He, Zhili ; ... - mBio (Online)

Tundra ecosystems are typically carbon (C) rich but nitrogen (N) limited. Since biological N ₂fixation is the major source of biologically available N, the soil N ₂-fixing (i.e., diazotrophic) community serves as an essential N supplier to the tundra ecosystem. Recent climate warming has induced deeper permafrost thaw and adversely affected C sequestration, which is modulated by N availability. Therefore, it is crucial to examine the responses of diazotrophic communities to warming across the depths of tundra soils. Herein, we carried out one of the deepest sequencing efforts of nitrogenase gene ( nifH) to investigate how 5 years of experimentalmore »« less

Nonlinear CO ₂ flux response to 7 years of experimentally induced permafrost thaw

Journal Article Mauritz, Marguerite ; Bracho, Rosvel ; Celis, Gerardo ; ... - Global Change Biology

Rapid Arctic warming is expected to increase global greenhouse gas concentrations as permafrost thaw exposes immense stores of frozen carbon (C) to microbial decomposition. Permafrost thaw also stimulates plant growth, which could offset C loss. Using data from 7 years of experimental Air and Soil warming in moist acidic tundra, we show that Soil warming had a much stronger effect on CO ₂ flux than Air warming. Soil warming caused rapid permafrost thaw and increased ecosystem respiration (R _eco), gross primary productivity (GPP), and net summer CO ₂ storage (NEE). Over 7 years R _eco, GPP, and NEE also increasedmore »« less

Warming Alters Expressions of Microbial Functional Genes Important to Ecosystem Functioning

Journal Article Xue, Kai ; Xie, Jianping ; Zhou, Aifen ; ... - Frontiers in Microbiology

Soil microbial communities play critical roles in ecosystem functioning and are likely altered by climate warming. However, so far, little is known about effects of warming on microbial functional gene expressions. Here, we applied functional gene array (GeoChip 3.0) to analyze cDNA reversely transcribed from total RNA to assess expressed functional genes in active soil microbial communities after nine years of experimental warming in a tallgrass prairie. Our results showed that warming significantly altered the community wide gene expressions. Specifically, expressed genes for degrading more recalcitrant carbon were stimulated by warming, likely linked to the plant community shift toward moremore »« less
