📢 New paper out in @Geoderma_Jrnl doi.org/10.1016/j.geod… 🦠Should we integrate microbial diversity into soil carbon models? 🍄 🚫Our data say no - it doesn’t improve predictions. ✅But microbial biomass? That’s a different story 👇

@EmmaAtai @Geoderma_Jrnl Yes maybe, but we're not looking at each piece, rather at how the "whole" taxonomic diversity correlates to response variables. There are many limitations in these measurements though, I agree!

@ebruni93 @Geoderma_Jrnl Thank you for the response. Correct me if I am wrong, but I think microbial biomass is a “Whole” whereas the microbial diversity would be a zoomed into to pieces. And each piece on its own won’t correlate with response variables?

@EmmaAtai @Geoderma_Jrnl Good question! In this work, we used operational taxonomic units and calculated different diversity indices (richness, Shannon, inverse Simpson), and this for different microbial groups (bacteria, fungi, saprotrophic fungi, ECM fungi) and we consistently saw the same effect

@ebruni93 @Geoderma_Jrnl Question, can microbial diversity be used as variable in this context. Can be quantified in the way microbial biomass is?

4/4 Bottom line: In our conditions, microbial diversity added complexity without gains in prediction. Microbial biomass, not diversity, is what really drives soil C and N dynamics in our model-data assimilation framework

3/4 Microbial (taxonomic) diversity had minor and negative effects. It slightly reduced C and N mineralization—but didn’t enhance model accuracy

2/4 Microbial biomass clearly mattered. It improved model performance and almost linearly controlled the C mineralization rate

🧵 1/4 We tested whether adding microbial activity improves predictions of a soil C and N model

Excited to share our latest perspective on the role of CUE in the land C cycle and its integration into global models! 🌍 Check out the full article in @NatureComms: rdcu.be/dTQ98. Huge thanks to @xianjin_he for leading the work and to all the amazing co-authors!
