  1. Models are the bridge between theory and data. With new omics and other tools being increasing applied to soil carbon cycling, how well are our models making this connection? Schimel 2023 doi.org/10.1016/j.soilbio.2023 concludes that microbial explicit models are still, very much, in the development phase and outlines why this is a hard problem. #SoilCarbonModel #MicrobialEcology #SoilBGC #SoilCarbonCycling #ReviewArticle #SciLit

  2. Zhu (Iowa State U): Drainage of wetland prairie in Iowa led to ag land. How does drainage system (intensity & spacing) affect N2O in context of ag systems. Field flux measurements and depth flux measurements => fertilizer pulses N2O flux MUCH (x10+) bigger then freeze/thaw pulse + no drain increases N2O emissions. N2O in subsoil is inverse from surface emissions ? possibly due to microbial community anoxic conditions. Drainage reduces N2O emissions by 8 kg ha-1 yr-1.
