Belowground allocation and dynamics of recently fixed plant carbon in a California annual grassland soil

C. Fossum, K. Estera-Molina, M. Yuan, D. Herman, I. Chu-Jacoby, P. Nico, K. Morrison, J. Pett-Ridge, M. K. Firestone

This study tracks the fate of plant-fixed carbon in a California grassland soil over two years, showing rapid mineral association and long-term persistence of carbon in heavy soil fractions.

Microbial extracellular polysaccharide production and aggregate stability controlled by Switchgrass (Panicum virgatum) root biomass and soil water potential

Y. Sher, N. R. Baker, D. J. Herman, C. Fossum, L. Hale, X.-X. Zhang, E. E. Nuccio, M. C. Saha, J. Zhou, J. Pett-Ridge, M. K. Firestone

This study shows switchgrass cultivation increases microbial extracellular polysaccharide (EPS) production and water-stable soil aggregates in marginal soils, driven by root biomass and soil water potential.
