Microbial respiration per unit microbial biomass depends on litter layer carbon-to-nitrogen ratio (2014, background): “Thus, it has been argued that microorganisms can dispose of C via overflow respiration as CO2 to make the substrate meet their nutritional demands (Manzoni et al., 2008, 2010; Sinsabaugh et al., 2013).”
Sugars in soil and sweets for microorganisms: Review of origin, content, composition and fate (2015, background): “8, but this is nearly two fold higher than CUE values frequently reported for soil (Sinsabaugh et al., 2013).”
Modeling plant–water interactions: an ecohydrological overview from the cell to the global scale (2016, background): “The production of mineral nutrients (e.g., NO3 −, NH4 +) is mostly connected to the dynamics of the carbon pools and to the stoichiometry (e.g., carbon-nitrogen ratio) of litter and SOM.305,306 Part of the nutrients can be lost through deep leakage, erosion, or, in the case of nitrogen, through deni”
