Nutrient and moisture limitations reveal keystone metabolites linking rhizosphere metabolomes and microbiomes Open
Plants release a wealth of metabolites into the rhizosphere that can shape the composition and activity of microbial communities in response to environmental stress. The connection between rhizodeposition and rhizosphere microbiome success…

Nutrient and moisture limitation reveal keystone metabolites that link switchgrass rhizosphere metabolome and microbiome dynamics Open
Plants exude large quantities of rhizosphere metabolites that can modulate composition and activity of microbial communities in response to environmental stress. While rhizodeposition dynamics have been associated with rhizosphere microbio…

Belowground allocation and dynamics of recently fixed plant carbon in a California annual grassland Open
<p>P<span>lant roots and the organisms that surround them are a primary source for stabilized soil organic carbon (SOC). While grassland soils have a large capacity to store organic carbon (C), few field-based studies have quan…

Belowground allocation and dynamics of recently fixed plant carbon in a California annual grassland soil Open
Summary Plant roots and the organisms that surround them are a primary source for stabilized organic C, particularly in grassland soils, which have a large capacity to store organic carbon belowground. To quantify the flow and fate of plan…

Conversion of marginal land into switchgrass conditionally accrues soil carbon but reduces methane consumption Open
Switchgrass is a deep-rooted perennial native to the US prairies and an attractive feedstock for bioenergy production; when cultivated on marginal soils it can provide a potential mechanism to sequester and accumulate soil carbon (C). Howe…

Conversion of marginal land into switchgrass conditionally accrues soil carbon and reduces methane consumption Open
Switchgrass ( Panicum virgatum L.) is a perennial C 4 grass native to tallgrass prairies of the Central US, and a promising bioenergy feedstock. Switchgrass can be cultivated on soils with low nutrient contents and its rooting depth, of up…

Microbial extracellular polysaccharide production and aggregate stability controlled by Switchgrass (<i>Panicum virgatum</i>) root biomass and soil water potential Open
Deep-rooting perennial grasses are promising feedstock for biofuel production, especially in marginal soils lacking organic material, nutrients, and/or that experience significant water stress. Perennial grass roots can alter surrounding s…
