Microbial #carbon use efficiency (CUE) plays a key role in #soil carbon storage. Here, the authors show that CUE declines with soil depth across 60 forest sites, driven by microbial #diversity in topsoil and by physicochemical protection in deeper layers.

Wind Patterns Influence the Dispersal and Assembly of North American Soil Fungal Communities Wind is the primary vector of fungal spore dispersal. We document that windflow patterns, both the direction and magnitude, exhibit a significant influence on the composition and diversity of soil fu....

Quantitative stable isotope probing (qSIP) and cross-domain networks reveal bacterial-fungal interactions in the hyphosphere - Microbiome Background Interactions between fungi and bacteria have the potential to substantially influence soil carbon dynamics in soil, but we have yet to fully identify these interactions and partners in thei...

Interesting use of #qSIP to detect microbial partners incorporating labeled substrates, enhancing understanding of fungal-bacterial interactions in soil. @jeffinerca.bsky.social

#EGU2025 has been a bop! I’m having a great time, especially at the poster sessions! The Fungal Ecology Lab was well also represented today with @zhiyuanxu.bsky.social and Christos 🍄🌲💧
