Plant functional groups and root traits are linked to exudation rates of mature temperate trees

Young E. Oh, Meghan G. Midgley, M. Luke McCormack, Katilyn V. Beidler, Marshall McCall, Savannah Henderson, Renato K. Braghiere, Richard P. Phillips

This study measures carbon exudation rates in 11 tree species to explore how plant functional groups and root traits influence exudation patterns.

Melanization interacts with soil mineral and microbial properties to determine fungal carbon and nitrogen persistence in soils

Katilyn V. Beidler, Elizabeth Huenupi, Lang C. DeLancey, François Maillard, Bowen Zhang, Per Persson, Peter G. Kennedy, Richard P. Phillips

This study shows that fungal melanin content and soil mineral properties interact to influence the formation of fungal-derived mineral-associated organic matter (MAOM) in soils.

The global root exudate carbon flux

Nikhil R. Chari, Shersingh Joseph Tumber-Dávila, Richard P. Phillips, Taryn L. Bauerle, Melanie Brunn, Benjamin D. Hafner, Tamir Klein, Sophie Obersteiner, Michaela K. Reay, Sami Ullah, Benton N. Taylor

The paper estimates global root exudate carbon fluxes using in situ measurements and fine root biomass, finding a global flux of 15.2 PgC y-1, with no biome differences in mass-specific rates but higher total fluxes in grasslands.
