Impacts of tree species diversity on microbial carbon use efficiency.

- Abstract
This article explores the relationship between tree species diversity and microbial carbon use efficiency (CUE) in forest ecosystems. The study conducted by Duan et al. in a subtropical forest in southwest China found that increasing tree species diversity led to an enhancement in microbial CUE. This improvement was attributed to a disproportionate increase in microbial growth rate compared to microbial respiration. The study also highlighted the role of microbial community structure, biomass, and extracellular enzyme activity in influencing microbial CUE. These findings emphasize the importance of maintaining high tree diversity for soil carbon sequestration and climate change mitigation.
