Rhizosphere processes: How much rhizo-microbial respiration? ( 14 C) (NSF) Rhizosphere priming effect ( 13 C) (USDA) Rhizosphere responses to climate change (DOE) 3. Temperature sensitivity of SOM decomposition ( 13 C) (USDA) 4. Climatic controls of 15 N natural abundance (Inner Mongolia) 5. C & N cycling under elevated CO 2 (Nevada, Oak Ridge) 6. Soil C and N processes in arctic tundra (San Diego)
3 The rhizosphere is a key interface in the Earth system. Releases 3-10 times more CO 2 than fossil fuel burning Uses 30-60% of global primary production on land Regulates virtually all aspects of biogeochemical cycles Rhizosphere Atmosphere Biosphere Lithosphere Pedosphere Hydrosphere 程
4 The term rhizosphere was proposed by Prof. Dr. Lorenz Hiltner of Germany over 100 years ago.

9 How important is rhizosphere CO 2 flux in the global carbon budget?

R s = 2 1,580 39,200 Soils Ocean A 15% change of global soil CO 2 efflux is equivalent to the amount of CO 2 emission from total fossil fuel burning) The C sequestration potential of global soils was estimated at Pg C. (Ratten Lal SCIENCE)
11 A conceptual definition of a rhizosphere priming effect on SOM decomposition Assuming total soil CO 2 efflux =100% Soil Basal Respiration Root Respiration SOM-derived Plant-derived Rhizosphere Priming Rhizo-Microbial Respiration The RPE is defined as the alteration of soil organic matter decomposition by plant roots and rhizospheric microbes.
12 The RPE is defined as the alteration of soil organic matter decomposition by plant roots and rhizospheric microbes. Here is an operational definition:
13 The Issue of Priming Effect Apparently, most roots grow in the soil. However, because of various methodological difficulties, a significant portion of our understanding of soil functions is based on measurements using rootless soil samples. A question inevitably arises: Does rootless soil functions in the same way as the soil with roots?
14 The Question: how important is the rhizosphere priming effect? Many studies of SOM decomposition have relied on laboratory incubations of soil samples without live roots and vegetation, implicitly assuming that the rhizosphere effect has no impact on the results. However, the assumption needs to be rigorously tested.

24 A summary: Based on results from 16 papers over 20 years of research, both positive and negative rhizosphere effects on SOM decomposition have been found in numerous experiments. The magnitude of the effects varies widely, from -50% to as high as +380% above the unplanted control. Many factors (e.g., timing, plant phenology, N, atmospheric CO 2, light, temperature, soil types, and plant species) influence the magnitude of the rhizosphere priming effect.

27 Implications to soil carbon modeling Most soil C models: M R=kM Our evidence suggests: M R=kM The rhizosphere link Or is it like this?
28 What are the mechanisms of the priming effect? The following hypotheses have been given (Cheng & Kuzyakov 2005): Microbial activation/ faunal grazing Water fluctuation Preferential substrate usage Competition for nutrients Aggregate destruction Uptake of labeled-c by roots
29 Mechanism-1: The priming effect is negatively correlated to microbial biomass turnover time, or positively correlated to turnover rate (Cheng, SBB2009). SOM-Derived CO 2 (mg C pot -1 d -1 ) No-plant Wheat Soybean SOM-Derived CO Microbial Turnover Time Microbial Biomass Turnover Time (Days)
30 Mechnism-2: Transpiration-induced wetting-drying cycles accelerates microbial turnover, SOM decomposition, and nitrogen mineralization through microbial dehydration and osmotic shock upon re-hydration (Cheng, SBB 2009). 140 SOM-derived CO 2 (mg C pot -1 d -1 ) Unplanted control ET (ml water pot -1 d -1 )

33 Then, there is one more question: How could roots get soil N by giving available C to soil microbes?
34 Enhanced microbial turnover is a key competition mechanism for mineral nitrogen between plant roots and soil microbes. Higher Turnover Rate Lower Turnover Rate Microbial Biomass Mineral Nitrogen Plant Roots Microfauna Signal/hormonal compounds Microbial Loop

40 Summary and Implications (1) Both positive and negative rhizosphere effects on SOM decomposition have been found in various experiments. The magnitude of root effects varies widely, from -50% to as high as +380% above the unplanted control. Several factors were found to be important for the assessment of the root effects on SOM decomposition, e.g., timing, plant phenology, N, CO 2, light, temperature, soil types, and plant species.
41 Summary and Implications (2) The dynamic pattern associated with rhizosphere processes is more like a pipeline system with a high through-flow than a reservoir system. More rhizosphere input stimulates more SOM decomposition. Accelerated turnover of microbial biomass is identified as one of the key mechanisms operating in the rhizosphere. Transpiration-induced drying-rewetting cycles in the rhizosphere can be another key mechanism responsible for the rhizosphere effect.
42 Summary and Implications (3) Rhizosphere priming effect can be more sensitive to temperature change (implications for global warming) These findings challenge the reliability of existing assessments on the rates of soil organic matter decomposition because they primarily came from soil incubations without the presence of plant roots and vegetation.

This provides the major missing piece to the puzzle why grasslands store so much soil carbon with relatively low NPP compared to forests and other ecosystems. 0.0 Control N-addition (Bai et al., in preparation)
52 As we were traveling on the grasslands, I thought about The Tragedy of the Commons by Gary Hardin published in 1968, and his stark prognosis (socialism or privatism), and the paper of David Sneath (1998), based on satellite image analysis, he showed that grassland degradation occurred to a much greater extent in IMAR than in comparable regions in neighboring Mongolia. According to Sneath, nomadic pastoralists in Mongolia have better maintained their grasslands than the state-own settled collectives established in IMAR in the middle of the 20 th century. Is it really the settlement or the commons causing the degradation?
53
54 Appropriate policies for managing common resources are dependent on the combined levels of natural and social resource densities. Social Resource Density Japan Survival levels China Western Europe Many African Countries USA Russia Pre-historical Communities Natural Resource Density
55 So my newly found research question is: How natural capital and social capital of resource-poor communities in Inner Mongolia interactively influence grassland degradation and recovery under the fast changing natural and social environment? Or How will they struggle out of the trapped Tragedy of the Commons and revert the trend of grassland degradation?
