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.

Meanders as a scaling motif for understanding of floodplain soil microbiome and biogeochemical potential at the watershed scale

P. B. Matheus Carnevali, A. Lavy, A. D. Thomas, A. Crits-Christoph, S. Diamond, R. Meeheust, M. R. Olm, A. Sharrar, S. Lei, W. Dong, N. Falco, N. Bouskill, M. Newcomer, P. Nico, H. Wainwright, , J. F. Banfield

The paper investigates microbial metabolic potential in floodplain soils along a river corridor, finding that meander-bound regions predict biogeochemical capacities at the watershed scale.

Microbial community assembly differs by mineral type in the rhizosphere

T. Whitman, R. Neurath, A. Perera, D. Ning, J. Zhou, P. Nico, J. Pett-Ridge, M. Firestone

The paper investigates how microbial communities assemble on different soil minerals in the rhizosphere and finds that dispersal limitation and microbial growth capacity shape these communities.
