Microbial priming controls terrestrial carbon burial in marine sediments

J. Weiss, Kathleen R. Stoof‐Leichsenring, Christiane Boeckel, Lester Lembke‐Jene, Vera D Meyer, Uwe John, Ulrike Herzschuh

The paper uses sedimentary ancient DNA to show microbial priming influences terrestrial carbon burial in marine sediments by altering organic matter degradation pathways.

Taxon-resolved sources of organic carbon preserved in lake sediments using the sedaDNA GenC pipeline

Zijuan Yong, Josefine Friederike Weiß, Kathleen R. Stoof‐Leichsenring, Sisi Liu, Ulrike Herzschuh

The paper develops the genC pipeline to estimate taxonomically resolved organic carbon sources in lake sediments and finds that environmental conditions, especially warming, drive OC variation, with terrestrial sources dominating.

DNA virus-host patterns in lake and marine environments over the last glacial cycle

Christiane Boeckel, Simeon Lisovski, Kathleen R. Stoof‐Leichsenring, Josefine Friederike Weiß, Sisi Liu, Lars Harms, Ulrike Herzschuh

This study uses sedimentary ancient DNA to reconstruct ancient viral communities in lake and marine environments over the last glacial cycle, revealing stable virus-host relationships and environmental influences.

Phaeocystis blooms caused carbon drawdown during the Antarctic Cold Reversal from sedimentary ancient DNA

Josefine Friederike Weiß, Ulrike Herzschuh, Juliane Müller, Jie Liang, Maria-Elena Vorrath, Amedea Perfumo, Kathleen R. Stoof‐Leichsenring

This study uses ancient DNA analysis to show that Phaeocystis blooms contributed to carbon drawdown during the Antarctic Cold Reversal, linking sea-ice changes to productivity shifts.

Dynamic land-plant carbon sources in marine sediments inferred from ancient DNA

Ulrike Herzschuh, Josefine Friederike Weiß, Kathleen R. Stoof‐Leichsenring, Lars Harms, Dirk Nürnberg, Juliane Müller

This study uses ancient DNA from marine sediments to infer dynamic land-plant carbon sources during the Last Glacial-Holocene transition, revealing vegetation dynamics and translocation patterns.
