Our manuscript is out: 'The path from root input to mineral-associated soil carbon is dictated by habitat-specific microbial traits and soil moisture.' We show that the microbial traits associated with soil C are not universal, but vary with soil habitat. sciencedirect.com/science/ar…

when it comes to MAOM formation, there's no one-ring-to-rule-them-all..💍 @NoahSokol @AGreenlon and @MegMFoley did a massive 13C/18O/drought/soil habitat study to figure out what microbial ecophysiological traits control formation of persistent SOC. sciencedirect.com/science/ar…

Oppenheimer built the bomb that killed my great-grandmother while her grandsons were drafted into the US army and the govt imprisoned her kids. If you're into moody great man biopics, I guess that's cool, but I personally really don't care how he felt while he was doing it.
