Another Ecology paper for the Soils lab! Don’s paper, “Anthropogenic N deposition, fungal gene expression, and an increasing soil carbon sink in the Northern Hemisphere”, in Ecology is now online. It discusses how the expression of fungal class II peroxidases were down regulated under experimentally increased N deposition and how this impacts greater soil C storage in terrestrial ecosystems. This important molecular mechanism should be represented in coupled climate-biogeochemical models for future rates of atmospheric CO2 and elevated N and it’s impact on global C storage.
