Accurately modeling and predicting CUE on a global scale is challenging due to inconsistencies in measurement techniques and the complex interactions of climatic, edaphic, and biological factors across scales. The link between microbial CUE and soil organic carbon relies on the stabilization of microbial necromass within soil aggregates or its association with minerals, necessitating an integration of microbial and stabilization processes in modeling approaches. In this perspective, we propose a comprehensive framework that integrates diverse data sources, ranging from genomic information to traditional soil carbon assessments, to refine carbon cycle models by incorporating variations in CUE, thereby enhancing our understanding of the microbial contribution to carbon cycling.</p 580 570 [SDU.OCEAN]Sciences of the Universe [physics]/Ocean Agricultural 550 Bacteria Atmosphere Life on Land [SDU.OCEAN] Sciences of the Universe [physics]/Ocean, Atmosphere Forestry Sciences Science Q Veterinary and Food Sciences Biological Sciences [SDU.ENVI] Sciences of the Universe [physics]/Continental interfaces, environment Carbon Carbon Cycle Soil Perspective [SDU.ENVI]Sciences of the Universe [physics]/Continental interfaces environment Soil Microbiology Ecosystem He, Xianjin, Abs, Elsa, Allison, Steven, Tao, Feng, Huang, Yuanyuan, Manzoni, Stefano, Abramoff, Rose, Bruni, Elisa, Bowring, Simon, Chakrawal, Arjun, Ciais, Philippe, Elsgaard, Lars, Friedlingstein, Pierre, Georgiou, Katerina, Hugelius, Gustaf, Holm, Lasse, Li, Wei, Luo, Yiqi, Marmasse, Gaëlle, Nunan, Naoise, Qiu, Chunjing, Sitch, Stephen, Wang, Ying-Ping, Goll, Daniel, 2024-09-13 journalpaper Abstract<p>Microbial carbon use efficiency (CUE) affects the fate and storage of carbon in terrestrial ecosystems, but its global importance remains uncertain.
