Data from: Differential impacts of nitrogen addition on rhizosphere and bulk-soil carbon sequestration in an alpine shrubland
<p><span><span>1. Due to complex root-soil interactions, the responses of carbon (C) dynamics in the rhizosphere to elevated nitrogen (N) deposition may be different from those in bulk soil. However, the potentially different response of C dynamics in the rhizosphere and bulk soils and their contributions to soil C sequestration under N deposition is still not elucidated.</span></span></p> <p><span><span>2. We conducted an N addition experiment in an alpine shrubland dominated by <i>Sibiraea angustata</i> located on the eastern Qinghai-Tibet Plateau (QTP). We measured the soil organic C (SOC) contents and density fractions in the rhizosphere and bulk soils in the top 15 cm of mineral soil and then employed a numerical model based on the rhizosphere extent to evaluate how the rhizosphere modulates soil C sequestration under N addition. We also measured the microbial gene abundance and C-acquisition enzyme activities to assess microbial community responses to N addition.</span></span></p> <p><span><span>3. The results showed that nitrogen addition had opposite effects on the rhizosphere and bulk-soil C stocks. Specifically, N addition decreased the rhizosphere SOC content through increasing bacterial abundance, β-glucosidase activity, and thus accelerating the loss of free light fraction C (FLF-C). However, N addition increased the bulk-soil C content, which was corresponding with the reduced oxidase activities and the accelerated accumulation of heavy fraction C (HF-C) under N addition. Numerical model analysis showed that the decrease induced by N addition in rhizosphere SOC stock ranged from 0.11 to 3.01 kg C m<sup>-2</sup> as root exudation diffusion distance extended from 0.5 mm to 2 mm, while the corresponding increase in the bulk-soil C stock ranged from 1.91 to 4.08 kg C m<sup>-2</sup>. By synthesizing the dynamics of the SOC stocks in these two soil compartments under N addition, the SOC stock at the ecosystem level exhibited an increase in range of 0.73-2.44 kg C m<sup>-2</sup>.</span></span></p> <p><span><span>4. <i>Synthesis</i> Our results suggest that alpine shrublands on the eastern QTP have great potential for soil C sequestration under N deposition, and the magnitude of the sequestration would depend closely on the responses of rhizosphere microbial C processes and the rhizosphere extent. Our results highlight the importance of integrating rhizosphere processes into land surface models to accurately predict ecosystem functions in the background of elevated N deposition.</span></span></p>
Data from: Prolonged exposure to manure from livestock administered antibiotics decreases ecosystem carbon-use efficiency and alters nitrogen cycling
Microbial communities drive soil ecosystem function but are also susceptible to environmental disturbances. We investigated whether exposure to manure sourced from cattle either administered or not administered antibiotics affected microbially-mediated terrestrial ecosystem function. We quantified changes in microbial community composition via amplicon sequencing, and terrestrial elemental cycling via a stable isotope pulse-chase. Exposure to manure from antibiotic-treated cattle caused: i) changes in microbial community structure; and ii) alterations in elemental cycling throughout the terrestrial system. This exposure caused changes in fungal:bacterial, as well as changes in bacterial community structure. Additionally, exposure to manure from cattle treated with pirlimycin resulted in an approximate two-fold increase in ecosystem respiration of recently fixed-carbon, and a greater proportion of recently-added nitrogen in plant and soil pools compared to the control manure. Manure from antibiotic-treated cattle therefore affects terrestrial ecosystem function via the soil microbiome, causing decreased ecosystem carbon use efficiency, and altered nitrogen cycling.

Carbon allocation to the rhizosphere is affected by drought and nitrogen addition
<p>Photosynthetic carbon (C) allocated below-ground can be shared with mycorrhizal fungi in exchange for nutrients, but also added into soil as rhizodeposits that potentially increases plant nutrient supply by supporting microbial nutrient mineralization from organic matter. How water and nitrogen (N) availabilities affect plant C allocation to the rhizosphere, including both arbuscular mycorrhizal fungi (AMF) symbionts and rhizodeposits, remains largely unknown.</p> <p>We used a <sup>13</sup>CO<sub>2</sub> pulse labelling experiment to assess effects of drought and N addition on below-ground allocation of C to soils and roots (quantified as excess <sup>13</sup>C) and tested their relationships with AMF colonization in an Australian grassland. We also examined relationships between AMF and previously reported root respiration and decomposition of rhizodeposits in this study.</p> <p>We found that drought decreased the absolute amount of excess <sup>13</sup>C allocated to both soils and roots, likely due to less photosynthetic C fixation. In contrast, proportionally more excess <sup>13</sup>C was allocated to soils but less to root biomass with drought, suggesting that relatively more C was allocated to rhizodeposits and to AMF hyphal growth and extension. However, N addition reversed drought effects on below-ground C allocation by retaining proportionally more excess <sup>13</sup>C in roots and less in soils, congruent with higher soil N and phosphorus availabilities, root biomass, and number of root tips compared to drought without N addition. This suggests that alleviation of nutrient limitation promoted plants to expend relatively more C on root growth and root trait adjustment, but less C on rhizodeposition and mycorrhizal symbiosis.</p> <p><i>Synthesis</i>. Mycorrhizal colonization related negatively to rhizodeposit decomposition rate but positively to both excess <sup>13</sup>C in root biomass and root respiration, suggesting a possible tradeoff in C allocation between mycorrhizal symbiosis and rhizodeposition. We conclude that below-ground C allocation in this grassland can be mediated by mycorrhizal colonization and is strongly affected by water and nutrient availability.</p>
Amoebocytes facilitate efficient carbon and nitrogen assimilation in the Cassiopea Symbiodiniaceae symbiosis
<p>The upside-down jellyfish <i>Cassiopea</i> engages in symbiosis with photosynthetic microalgae that facilitate uptake and recycling of inorganic nutrients. In contrast to most other symbiotic cnidarians, algal endosymbionts in <i>Cassiopea</i> are not restricted to the gastroderm but are found in amoebocyte cells within the mesoglea. While symbiont-bearing amoebocytes are highly abundant, their role in nutrient uptake and cycling in <i>Cassiopea</i> remains unknown. By combining isotopic labelling experiments with correlated SEM and NanoSIMS imaging, we quantified the anabolic assimilation of inorganic carbon and nitrogen at the subcellular level in juvenile <i>Cassiopea</i> medusae bell tissue. Amoebocytes were clustered near the sub-umbrella epidermis and facilitated efficient assimilation of inorganic nutrients. Photosynthetically-fixed carbon was efficiently translocated between endosymbionts, amoebocytes and host epidermis at rates similar to or exceeding those observed in corals. The <i>Cassiopea</i> holobionts efficiently assimilated ammonium, while no nitrate assimilation was detected, possibly reflecting adaptation to highly dynamic environmental conditions of their natural habitat. The motile amoebocytes allow <i>Cassiopea</i> medusae to distribute their endosymbiont population to optimize access to light and nutrients, and transport nutrition between tissue areas. Amoebocytes thus play a vital role for assimilation and translocation of nutrients in <i>Cassiopea</i>, providing an interesting new model for studies of metabolic interactions in photosymbiotic marine organisms.</p>
Soil carbon, nitrogen, and phosphorus cycling microbial populations and their resistance to global change depend on C:N:P stoichiometry

Data from "Removal of grazers alters the response of tundra soil carbon to warming and enhanced nitrogen availability", Ecological Monograps in October 2019
<p>Here we present the data used in the manuscript "<em>Removal of grazers alters the response of tundra soil carbon to warming and enhanced nitrogen availability</em>", Ecological Monograps, Early view in October 2019 by H. Ylänne, E. Kaarlejärvi, M. Väisänen, M. K. Männistö, S. H. K. Ahonen, J. Olofsson & S. Stark. In this paper we studied, how five years of experimental warming and increased soil nitrogen availability interact with both long- and short-term differences in grazing intensity in shaping ecosystem carbon stocks and the processes underlying the changes. We used an over 50-year-old reindeer fence that separates a lightly grazed shrub-dominated tundra from a heavily grazed graminoid-dominated tundra, where the different grazing histories on the two sides of the fences have created different ecosystem states. In addition to the long-term grazing difference, we also established short-term grazer exclosures on the heavily grazed side of the fence to account for the effect of a sudden grazing cessation.</p> <p>This file includes data of ecosystem carbon stocks, soil properties, and fungal and bacterial copy numbers. It also provides data on development of the vegetation through the course of the experiment (2010-2014) and presents the activities of six extracellular enzymes measured on three occasions in 2013.</p>
Data from: Plant species richness promotes soil carbon and nitrogen stocks in grasslands without legumes
1. The storage of carbon (C) and nitrogen (N) in soil are important ecosystem functions. Grassland biodiversity experiments have shown a positive effect of plant diversity on soil C and N storage. However, these experiments all included legumes, which constitute an important N input through N2-fixation. Indeed, the results of these experiments suggest that N2-fixation by legumes is a major driver of soil C and N storage. 2. We studied whether plant diversity affects soil C and N storage in the absence of legumes. In an 11-years grassland biodiversity experiment without legumes, we measured soil C and N stocks. We further determined above-ground biomass productivity, standing root biomass, soil organic matter decomposition and N mineralization rates to understand the mechanisms underlying the change in soil C and N stocks in relation to plant diversity and their feedbacks to plant productivity. 3. We found that soil C and N stocks increased by 18 and 16% in eight-species mixtures compared to the average of monocultures of the same species, respectively. Increased soil C and N stocks were mainly driven by increased C input and N retention, resulting from enhanced plant productivity, which surpassed enhanced C loss from decomposition. Importantly, higher soil C and N stocks were associated with enhanced soil N mineralization rates, which can explain the strengthening of the positive diversity-productivity relationship observed in the last years of the experiment. 4. Synthesis: We demonstrated that also in the absence of legumes plant species richness promotes soil carbon (C) and nitrogen (N) stocks via increased plant productivity. In turn, enhanced soil C and N stocks showed a positive feedback to plant productivity via enhanced N mineralization, which could further accelerate soil C and N storage in the long term.
Food sources of benthic communities at the Caiwei Guyot and Yap Trench, northwestern Pacific Ocean: inferences from carbon and nitrogen isotopes
<p>To investigate nutritional resources for benthic communities at two sites in the northwestern Pacific Ocean (the Caiwei Guyot and the Yap Trench), stable isotopes of carbon and nitrogen (δ<sup>13</sup>C and δ<sup>15</sup>N) were measured in the tissues of megabenthic consumers (Porifera, Asteroidea, Crinoidea, Holothuroidea, Ophiuroidea, Gammaridea, and Actiniaria) as well as four potential food sources (suspended particles, sinking particles, zooplankton, and sedimentary organic matter, SOM). Fast-sinking particles are generally thought to be the primary food source for benthic consumers, but that paradigm does not seem to apply at these abyssal sites. Here, the δ<sup>13</sup>C and δ<sup>15</sup>N signatures of fast-sinking particles (as collected by sediment traps; δ<sup>13</sup>C = −24.1 to −22.6‰, δ<sup>15</sup>N = 1.4 to 5.4‰) were significantly lower than those of the megabenthos (δ<sup>13</sup>C = −20.1 to −16.1‰, δ<sup>15</sup>N = 10.2 to 17.9‰), indicating that these particles are not likely a direct food source for the animals. Buoyant particles (and slow-sinking particles), on the other hand, seem to be a significant direct food source for the megabenthos. Sedimentary organic matter and zooplankton are also important direct food sources. Trophic level analysis similarly indicates a diversity of food sources and suggests that for at least some animals, microbes (e.g., bacteria) may be a food source as well.</p>
Data from: Intensive forest harvesting increases susceptibility of northern forest soils to carbon, nitrogen and phosphorus loss
1. Understanding the impact of forest harvesting is critical to sustainable forest management, yet there remains much uncertainty regarding how harvesting affects soil carbon (C), nitrogen (N) and phosphorus (P) dynamics. 2. Here we conducted a global meta-analysis of 808 observations from 49 studies to test the effects of harvesting on the stocks and concentrations of soil C, N, and P and C:N:P ratios relative to uncut control stands. 3. With all harvesting intensities combined, C stock was unaffected by harvesting in either the forest floor or mineral soil, while harvesting reduced forest floor [C], [N], and [P] and C:N ratio, increased the mineral soil [C] and C:N ratio, but reduced mineral soil N stock,. The impacts of harvesting on forest floor C and N stocks, C:P and N:P and mineral soil [C] and [N] changed from no effects by partial, stem-only and whole-tree harvesting to significantly negative effects by the harvesting coupled with fire. Stem-only and whole-tree harvesting similarly reduced forest floor [P]. The negative effects of harvesting were most pronounced in conifer stands. Soil [C], [N] and C:N decreased with time since harvesting, but soil [P] did not, resulting in an increase in forest floor N:P. 4. Synthesis and applications. Our findings highlight the importance of harvest intensity and rotation length on long-term soil nutrient availability when managing forests. Furthermore, the lag in [P] recovery following harvesting may indicate a decoupling of the P cycle from that of C and N and a potential concern in managed forests.
Data from: Soil carbon, nitrogen and phosphorus stoichiometry (C:N:P) in relation to conifer species productivity and nutrition across British Columbia perhumid rainforests
<p>Temperate rainforest soils of the Pacific Northwest are often carbon (C) rich and encompass a wide range in fertility reflecting varying nitrogen (N) and phosphorus (P) availability. Soil resource stoichiometry (C:N:P) may provide an effective measure of site nutrient status and help refine species-dependent patterns in forest productivity across edaphic gradients. We described the nature of soil organic matter for mineral soil and forest floor substrates across very wet (perhumid) rainforest sites of southwestern Vancouver Island (Canada), and employed soil element ratios as covariates in a long-term planting density trial to test their utility in defining basal area growth response of four conifer species. There were strong positive correlations in mineral soil C, N and organic P (P<sub>o</sub>) concentrations, and close alignment in C:N and C:P<sub>o</sub> both among and between substrates. Stand basal area after five decades was best reflected by soil C:N but included a significant species-soil interaction. The conifers with ectomycorrhizal fungi had diverging growth responses displaying either competitive (<i>Picea sitchensis</i>) or stress-tolerant (<i>Tsuga heterophylla</i>, <i>Pseudotsuga menziesii</i>) attributes, in contrast to a more generalist response by an arbuscular mycorrhizal tree (<i>Thuja plicata</i>). Despite the consistent patterns in organic matter quality we found no evidence via foliar nutrition for increased P availability with declining element ratios as we did for N. The often high C:P<sub>o</sub> ratios (as much as 3000) of these soils may reflect a stronger immobilization sink for P than N, which, along with ongoing sorption of PO<sub>4</sub><sup>-</sup>, could limit the utility of C:P<sub>o</sub> or N:P<sub>o</sub> to adequately reflect P supply. The dynamics and availability of soil P to trees, particularly as P<sub>o</sub>, deserves greater attention as many perhumid rainforests were co-limited by N and P, or, in some stands, possibly P alone. </p>

Variation in plant carbon, nitrogen and phosphorus contents across the drylands of China
<ol> <li>Determining large-scale patterns of plant elemental concentrations and stoichiometry along environmental gradients is critical for understanding plant adaptive strategies and predicting ecosystem biogeochemistry processes. However, it remains unclear as to how plant carbon (C), nitrogen (N), and phosphorus (P) concentrations and their stoichiometry in different organs (leaves, stems, and roots) respond to large-scale environmental gradients in drylands.</li> <li>We determined C, N, and P concentrations and their ratios in leaves, stems, and roots of plants growing in the dryland ecosystems of China. Using threshold indicator taxa analyses, we identified indicator species of plant C, N, and P responses to aridity and soil properties.</li> <li>The arithmetic averaged concentrations of C, N, and P in drylands were 414, 18.7, and 1.38 mg/g for leaves, respectively; 445, 12.1, and 1.08 mg/g for stems, respectively; and 418, 10.5, and 0.89 mg/g for roots, respectively. The C : N, C : P, and N : P ratios were 25.2, 386, and 16.3 for leaves, respectively; 42.8, 592, and 14.8 for stems, respectively; and 46.8, 658, and 15.6 for roots, respectively. Aridity and soil pH generally exerted positive effects on plant N and negative effects on C and P concentrations and, thus, were related negatively to C : N ratios and positively to C : P and N : P ratios. The C, N, and P concentrations in organs generally increased with increasing corresponding soil C, N, and P concentrations. Shrubs were mainly positive indicators of plant C, N, and P concentrations in response to aridity and soil pH, and negative indicators of soil nutrients. In contrast, herbaceous species were mainly positive indicators of soil nutrients and negative indicators of aridity and soil pH.</li> <li>These findings indicate that plants tend to accumulate N rather than C and P with increasing aridity and soil pH. The identification of indicator species for plant elements in response to aridity and soil traits informs our understanding of species-specific biogeographic patterns of organ elements and potential adaptive strategies of plants in drylands.</li> </ol>
Restoring function: positive responses of carbon and nitrogen to 20 years of hydrologic restoration in montane meadows
<p>Montane meadows are highly productive ecosystems that contain high densities of soil carbon (C) and nitrogen (N). However, anthropogenic disturbances that lead to channel incision and disconnected floodplain hydrology have altered the C balance of many meadows, converting them from net C sinks to net sources of C to the atmosphere. Restoration efforts designed to reconnect floodplain hydrology may slow rates of soil C loss from degraded meadows and restore conditions for C sequestration and N immobilization, yet questions remain about the long-term impact of such efforts. Here, we used a 22-year meadow restoration chronosequence to measure the decadal impact of hydrologic restoration on above- and belowground C and N stocks and concentrations. Increases in herbaceous vegetation biomass preceded changes in soil C stocks, with the largest gains occurring belowground. Root biomass (0-15 cm) increased at a rate of 270.3 g m<sup>-2</sup> y<sup>-1</sup> and soil C stocks (0-15 cm) increased by 232.9 g C m<sup>-2</sup> y<sup>-1</sup> across the chronosequence. Increases in soil C concentration (2.99 g C kg<sup>-1</sup> y<sup>-1</sup>) were tightly coupled with increases in soil N concentration (0.21 g N kg<sup>-1</sup> y<sup>-1</sup>) and soil C:N did not vary with time since restoration. Fourier Transformed Infrared Spectroscopy results show that the fraction of labile aliphatic C-H and carboxylate C-O (COO) compounds in the soil increased with age of restoration and were positively correlated with soil C and N concentration. Our results demonstrate that restoration of floodplain hydrology in montane meadows has significant impacts on belowground C and N stocks, soil C and N concentration, and soil C chemistry within the first two decades following restoration.</p>
Crop Diversification Effects on Soil Aggregation and Aggregate-Associated Carbon and Nitrogen in Short-Term Rainfed Olive Groves under SemiaridMediterranean Conditions
<p>Soil particle aggregation and their associated carbon (C) and nitrogen (N) content can<br> provide valuable diagnostic indicators of changes in soil properties in response to the implementation<br> of different agricultural management practices. In this sense, there is limited knowledge regarding the<br> impact of intercropping on soil organic carbon (SOC) and total nitrogen (TN) pools in aggregates. This<br> study aimed to evaluate the short-term effect (4 years) of three crop diversifications in rainfed olive<br> orchards on soil aggregation, SOC and TN concentration and SOC stocks (SOC-S) under semi-arid<br> Mediterranean conditions. Olive orchards were diversified with Crocus sativus (D-S), Vicia sativa and<br> Avena sativa in rotation (D-O) and Lavandula x intermedia (D-L) and compared with monocropping<br> system (CT). Soil samples were collected at two depths (0–10 and 10–30 cm) and analysed for soil<br> aggregate mass, SOC and TN content in aggregate-size fractions obtained by the wet-sieving method.<br> Changes caused by crop diversifications on SOC-S were also determined. Overall, after 4 years,<br> a reduction in aggregation values was observed. However, D-S increased the macroaggregates<br> (>250 m) percentage, Mean Weigh Diameter values, and Geometric Mean Value in the 0–10 cm.<br> Across treatments, aggregate-associated C in 0–10 cm was higher in the D-S treatment, while in<br> the 10–30 cm soil layer, the greatest values were found in CT. Regarding the SOC-S, after 4 years,<br> significant losses were recorded under CT management in 0–10 cm (1.21 Mg ha1) and 10–30 cm<br> (0.84 Mg ha1), while D-O and D-L showed similar values to those obtained at the beginning of the<br> study. The highest increases in SOC-S were found in D-S, with an increase of 5.88% in the 0–10 cm<br> and 14.47% in the 10–30 cm. Our results showed the high potential of the diversified cropping system<br> to increase soil stability and SOC sequestration.</p>
