Data for Lake Mendota Phosphorus Cycling Model
There is an opportunity to advance both prediction accuracy and scientific discovery for phosphorus cycling in Lake Mendota (Wisconsin, USA). Twenty years of phosphorus measurements show patterns at seasonal to decadal scales, suggesting a variety of drivers control lake phosphorus dynamics. Our objectives are to produce a phosphorus budget for Lake Mendota and to accurately predict summertime epilimnetic phosphorus using a simple and adaptable modeling approach. We combined ecological knowledge with machine learning in the emerging paradigm, theory-guided data science (TGDS). A mass balance model (PROCESS) accounted for most of the observed pattern in lake phosphorus. However, inclusion of machine learning (RNN) and an ecological principle (PGRNN) to constrain its output improved summertime phosphorus predictions and accounted for long term changes missed by the mass balance model. TGDS indicated additional processes related to water temperature, thermal stratification, and long term changes in external loads are needed to improve our mass balance modeling approach.
Data from: Soils from cold and snowy temperate deciduous forests release more nitrogen and phosphorus after soil freeze–thaw cycles than soils from warmer, snow-poor conditions
<p>Effects of global warming are most pronounced in winter. A reduction in snow cover due to warmer atmospheric temperature in formerly cold ecosystems, however, could counteract an increase in soil temperature by reduction of insulation. Thus, soil freeze-thaw cycles (FTC) might increase in frequency and magnitude with warming, potentially leading to a disturbance of the soil biota and release of nutrients.</p> <p>Here, we assessed how soil freeze-thaw magnitude and frequency affect short-term release of nutrients in temperate deciduous forest soils by conducting a three factorial gradient experiment with ex-situ soil samples in climate chambers. The fully-crossed experiment included soils from forests dominated by <i>Fagus sylvatica</i> (European beech) that originate from different winter climate (mean coldest month temperature range ΔT > 4 K), a range of FTC magnitudes from no (T = 4.0 °C) to strong (T = -11.3 °C) soil frost, and a range of FTC frequencies (f = 0–7). We hypothesized that higher FTC magnitude and frequency, respectively, will increase the release of nutrients. Furthermore, soils from cold climates with historically stable winter soil temperatures due to deep snow cover will be more responsive to FTC than soils from warmer, more fluctuating winter soil climates.</p> <p>FTC magnitude and, to a lesser extent, also FTC frequency resulted in increased nitrate, ammonium, and phosphate release almost exclusively in soils from cold, snow-rich sites. The hierarchical regression analyses of our three-factorial gradient experiment revealed that the effects of climatic origin (mean minimum winter temperature) followed a sigmoidal curve for all studied nutrients and was modulated either by FTC magnitude (phosphate) or by FTC magnitude and frequency (nitrate, ammonium) in complex two- and, for all studied nutrients, in threefold interactions of the environmental drivers. Compared to initial concentrations, soluble nutrients were predicted to increase to 250 % for nitrate (up to 16 µg NO<sub>3</sub>-N kg<sup>-1</sup>DM), to 110 % for ammonium (up to 60 µg NH<sub>4</sub>-N kg<sup>-1</sup>DM), and to 400 % for phosphate (2.2 µg PO<sub>4</sub>-P kg<sup>-1</sup>DM) at the coldest site for strongest magnitude and highest frequency. Soils from warmer sites showed little nutrient release and were largely unaffected by the FTC treatments except for above-average nitrate release at the warmest sites in response to extremely cold FTC magnitude.</p> <p>We suggest that currently warmer forest soils have historically already passed the point of high responsiveness to winter climate change, displaying some form of adaptation either in the soil biotic composition or in labile nutrient sources. Our data suggests that previously cold sites, which will lose their protective snow cover during climate change, are most vulnerable to increasing FTC frequency and magnitude, resulting in strong shifts in nitrogen and phosphorus release. In nutrient poor European beech forests of the studied Pleistocene lowlands, nutrients released over winter may be leached out, inducing reduced plant growth rates in the following growing season.</p> <p>Here, we provide the raw data of a three-factorial regression experiment and the R-Code used in the hierarchical regression analysis of this raw data in Kreyling et al.: Soils from cold and snowy temperate deciduous forests release more nitrogen and phosphorus after soil freeze-thaw cycles than soils from warmer, snow-poor conditions.</p>
Data from: Fog controls biological cycling of soil phosphorus in the Coastal Cordillera of the Atacama Desert
<p>In this study, we collected topsoil samples (0‒10 cm) from each of 54 subsites, including sites in direct adjacency (< 10 cm) and in 1 m distance to plants, along an aridity gradient across the Coastal Cordillera in the Atacama Desert. The soluble salts anions (NO<sup>3</sup><sup>‒</sup>, Cl<sup>‒</sup>, and SO<sub>4</sub><sup>2</sup><sup>‒</sup>) and cations (Ca<sup>2+</sup>, Na<sup>+</sup>, Mg<sup>2+</sup> and K<sup>+</sup>) were tested. And we performed soil sequential P fractionation and the oxygen isotope values of HCl-extractable P<sub>i</sub> (δ<sup>18</sup>O<sub>HCl</sub>-<sub>Pi</sub>). </p>
Centennial deforestation impacts on soil phosphorus cycling in the Amazon rainforest
<p>Deforestation of tropical rainforests is a major land use change that alters terrestrial biogeochemical cycling at local to global scales. Deforestation and subsequent reforestation are likely to impact soil phosphorus (P) cycling, which in P-limited ecosystems such as in the Amazon basin has implications for long-term land use change and productivity. We used a 100-year observational chronosequence of primary forest conversion to pasture, as well as a 13-year-old secondary forest, to test land use change and duration effects on soil P dynamics in the Amazon basin. By combining sequential extraction and P K-edge X-ray absorption near edge structure (XANES) spectroscopy with soil phosphatase assays, we assessed pools and process rates of P cycling in surface soils. Deforestation caused increases in total P (135-398 mg kg<sup>-1</sup>), total organic P (Po) (19-168 mg kg<sup>-1</sup>), and total inorganic P (Pi) (30-113 mg kg<sup>-1</sup>) fractions in surface soils with pasture age, with concomitant increases in Pi fractions corroborated by sequential fractionation and XANES spectroscopy. Soil non-labile Po (10-148 mg kg<sup>-1</sup>) increased disproportionately compared to labile Po (from 4-5 to 7-13 mg kg<sup>-1</sup>). Soil phosphomonoesterase and phosphodiesterase binding affinity (Km) decreased while the specificity constant (Ka) increased by 83-159% in 39–100y pastures. Soil P pools and process rates reverted to magnitudes similar to primary forests within 13 years of pasture abandonment, though the relatively short but representative pre-abandonment pasture duration of our secondary forest may not enable significant deforestation effects on soil P cycling, highlighting the need to consider both pasture duration and reforestation age in evaluations of Amazon land use legacies. Although the space-for-time substitution design can entail variation in the initial soil P pools due to atmospheric P deposition, soil properties, and/or primary forest growth, the trend of P pools and process rates with pasture age still provides valuable insights.</p>
Data for: Responses of soil phosphorus cycling and bioavailability to plant invasion in river-lake ecotones
<p><span>The invasion of exotic plants in the river-lake ecotone has seriously affected the nutrient cycling processes in wetland soil. The South American species <em>Alternanthera philoxeroides</em> (Mart.) Griseb. is rapidly invading the river-lake ecotone in subtropical China, and has become the dominant species in the river-lake ecotone. However, there have been few studies on the effects of <em>A. philoxeroides</em> invasion on soil phosphorus (P) cycling and bioavailability in this ecotone. Herein, we measured the bioavailable P fractions, physicochemical properties and nutrient content in the surface soils of the native plant (<em>Zizania latifolia</em> (Griseb.) Turcz and <em>Nelumbo nucifera</em> Gaertn.) communities and the adjacent invasive <em>A. philoxeroides</em> communities in three river-lake ecotones with different nutrient substrates in the subtropical Dongting Lake basin over a three-year period to reveal the effects of <em>A. philoxeroides</em> invasion on the morphology and concentrations of soil bioavailable P. The principal coordinate analysis results showed that <em>A. philoxeroides</em> invasion significantly altered the bioavailable P concentrations in the soil of native plant communities in the different river-lake ecotones, and this effect was not disturbed by the heterogeneity of the soil matrix. However, the effects of invasion into different native plant communities on the fractions of soil bioavailable P were different. Compared with native <em>Z. latifolia</em> and <em>N. nucifera</em> communities, <em>A. philoxeroides</em> invasion increased the concentration of inorganic P by 39.5% and 3.7%, respectively, and the concentration of organic P decreased by 32.7% and 31.9%, respectively. Meanwhile, the invasion promoted P cycling and accumulation in the river-lake ecotone, which resulted in average decreases in the soil N:P and C:P ratios of 7.9% and 12.5%, respectively. These results highlight the impact of exotic plant invasions on nutrient cycling in wetland ecosystems in the river-lake ecotone, and this process may be detrimental to the late recovery of native plants.</span></p>
Data from: Soil microeukaryotic communities and phosphorus-cycling microorganisms respond to chloropicrin fumigation and azoxystrobin application
<p>Fumigants and fungicides are effective at controlling soil-borne pathogens but might also adversely affect soil beneficial microbes, such as soil phosphorus (P) solubilizing microbes, further altering nutrient cycling processes. Therefore, this study investigated the effects of the fumigant chloropicrin (CP) and the fungicide azoxystrobin (AZO) on soil microeukaryotes and P-cycling related soil bacteria through a greenhouse experiment. Soil microeukaryotic communities and bacterial communities containing two phosphomonoesterase encoding genes (<em>phoC</em> and <em>phoD</em>) were analysed using high-throughput sequencing methods. Results showed that, when applied at the field recommended application dosage, the fungicide AZO had no significant influence on the community structure of soil microeukaryotes and <em>phoD</em>-containing bacteria. However, in CP-fumigated soils, the soil microeukaryotic community composition changed from fungi-dominated to protist-dominated. CP fumigation significantly decreased the total <em>phoC</em>/<em>phoD</em> gene copy number but increased the relative abundance of some <em>phoC</em>/<em>phoD</em>-containing bacteria (such as <em>Sinorhizobium</em> and <em>Streptomyces</em>), which are significantly positively correlated to available P compositions in soil. The structural equation model (SEM) confirmed that CP fumigation could affect soil available P content directly by altering <em>phoC</em>-/<em>phoD</em>-containing bacteria, or indirectly by affecting <em>phoC</em>/<em>phoD</em> gene abundance and acid/alkaline phosphatases activity in soil. The inconsistent changes in <em>phoC</em>/<em>phoD</em>-containing bacteria, <em>phoC</em>/<em>phoD</em> gene number, and the phosphomonoesterase activities indicated that enzyme secretion may not be the only way for P solubilizing soil microorganisms to regulate P availability after soil fumigation. The outcome of this study can provide theoretical support for the design of soil beneficial microorganism recovery strategies and the regulation of phosphate fertilizer after soil fumigation.</p>

The role of soil redox conditions in microbial phosphorus cycling in humid tropical forests
Humid tropical forests are among the most productive ecosystems globally, yet they often occur on soils with high phosphorus (P) sorption capacity, lowering P availability to biota. Short-term anoxic events are thought to release sorbed P and enhance its acquisition by soil microbes. However, the actual effects of anoxic conditions on microbial P acquisition in humid tropical forest soils are surprisingly poorly studied. We used laboratory incubations of bulk soils, NanoSIMS analysis of single microbial cells, and landscape scale measurements in the Luquillo Experimental Forest (LEF), Puerto Rico to test the hypothesis that anoxic conditions increase microbial P acquisition in humid tropical forests. In laboratory and field experiments we found that microbial P uptake generally decreased under anoxic conditions, leading to high microbial carbon (C) to P ratios in anoxic soils. The decreased P acquisition under anoxic conditions was correlated with lower microbial C use efficiency (CUE), an index of microbial energy transfer in ecosystems. Phosphorus amendments to anoxic soils led to increased microbial P uptake and higher CUE suggesting that microbes were less able to access and utilize P under natural low redox conditions. Under oxic conditions, microbial C:P ratios and CUE did not respond to changes in substrate stoichiometry. These results challenge the existing paradigm by showing that anoxic conditions can decrease microbial P uptake and ultimately constrain microbial CUE. Our findings indicate that soil redox conditions tightly couple soil P and C cycles and advance our understanding of controls on P cycling in humid tropical forest ecosystems.
