🚨 A new paper by Elisa Bruni & #HoliSoils researchers found that microbial biomass (not diversity) drives #soil carbon & nitrogen mineralization in Spanish holm oak ecosystems 🌱🧪 Read this insightful paper ➡️ doi.org/10.1016/j.ge... @aleksileh.bsky.social @cnrs.fr @luke.fi @manzonilab.bsky.social

Elisa found that respiration rates scale as the product of organic carbon and microbial biomass, with minimal effects of microbial diversity. This is a cool result, supporting the use of nonlinear kinetics to interpret data at small scales (lab incubation). Great @holisoils.bsky.social team effort!
