Carbon sequestration by fungal and root necromass in grassland soils

该项目涉及了解草地管理如何影响土壤中的碳储存和循环，特别强调土壤微生物所发挥的作用。该项目将提供对植物-微生物相互作用的基本了解，并将有助于发展可减轻气候变化影响的可持续粮食系统。该项目非常符合BBSRC的重点领域“可持续农业系统”。这包括非常符合“通过增强土壤微生物组来改善农业绩效和可持续性”。农业土壤是一个重要的研究目标，因为它们具有提高性能的广泛潜力。了解微生物组在土壤生态系统和作物生产中的作用是关键，特别强调了解土壤-作物-微生物相互作用，土壤管理技术和恢复土壤养分平衡以实现最佳粮食生产。"

This project concerns understanding how grassland management affects carbon storage and cycling in soils, with particular emphasis on the role played by soil microorganisms. The project will provide fundamental understanding of plant-microbial interactions and will contribute to development of sustainable food systems that can mitigate the effects of climate change. This project fits extremely well with the BBSRC Focus Area "Sustainable Agricultural Systems". This includes fitting extremely well with "Delivering improved agricultural performance and sustainability through enhancement of the soil microbiome. Agricultural soils are an important research target, given their broad potential to enhance performance. Understanding the role of the microbiome in the soil ecosystem and crop production is key, with a particular emphasis on understanding soil-crop-microbe interactions, soil management techniques and restoring the nutrient balance of soil for optimal food production."
