Abstract Aridity alters soil carbon (C), nitrogen (N) and phosphorus (P) stoichiometry, yet the implications of these processes for soil microbial functional traits and potentials at the genomic level remain poorly synthesized. Here we combine measurements of soil C, N and P pools and ratios with shotgun metagenomes from 200 natural ecosystems spanning major biomes worldwide.

Abstract Reliable predictions of dryland carbon fluxes require understanding the persistence and turnover of soil organic carbon (SOC). We measure radiocarbon to quantify the age of SOC and CO2 released from soil respiration at 97 dryland sites across six continents. Here we show that bulk SOC contains little C fixed in the past 60 years, while respired CO2 originates from both bomb-derived recent C and millennia-old C, challenging the idea that old C is chemically or physically protected.

Ecosystem valuation: Concept, criteria and terminology. Methods in Ecology and Evolution, 00, 1–5. Westoby, https://doi.org/10.1111/2041-210x.70279 1 INTRODUCTION Furlaud et al. (2025) reviewed the concept of ecosystem condition and addressed how it might be quantified via state and transition (ST) concepts or quantitative ST models.
