Concepts

CO2 efflux from soils to atmosphere representing combination of autotrophic respiration (root respiration) and heterotrophic respiration (microbial decomposition)

The microbiome's ability to extract energy from dietary sources

Measure of soil acidity/alkalinity that may influence plant phenotype expression

Accounting framework that tracks carbon inputs, transformations, and outputs in environmental systems to quantify net carbon fluxes

Geographic patterns in biodiversity and chemical diversity across latitudinal and environmental gradients
