Quantifying this ocean carbon sink provides a key component for closing the global carbon budget, which is used to inform and guide policy decisions. These estimates are typically accompanied by an uncertainty budget built by selecting what are perceived as critical uncertainty components based on selective experimentation. However, there is a growing realization that these budgets are incomplete and may be underestimated, which limits their power as a constraint within global budgets. In this study, we present a methodology for quantifying spatially and temporally varying uncertainties in the air-sea CO₂ flux calculations for the <i>f</i>CO₂-product based assessments that allows an exhaustive assessment of all known sources of uncertainties, including decorrelation length scales between gridded measurements, and the approach follows standard uncertainty propagation methodologies. The resulting standard uncertainties are higher than previously suggested budgets, but the component contributions are largely consistent with previous work. The uncertainties presented in this study identify how the significance and importance of key components change in space and time. For an exemplar method (the UExP-FNN-U method), the work identifies that we can currently estimate the annual ocean carbon sink to a precision of ±0.70 Pg C yr⁻¹ (1σ uncertainty).

Intercropping, the cultivation of two or more crop species on the same field, can provide yield benefits and is suggested to positively affect soil organic carbon (C) and nitrogen (N) stocks. This study uses the biogeochemical model system LandscapeDNDC with the objective to (a) represent maize-legume intercropping systems in different bioregions in SSA by simultaneously simulating both crops and their interactions and (b) assess long-term (20 years) impacts of intercropping under varying mineral fertilizer inputs (0–150 kg N ha⁻¹ yr⁻¹) on productivity as well as soil organic C and N stocks. We test LandscapeDNDC on 82 field data sets (site-year-treatment combinations) from 18 sites to represent yields and soil C/N dynamics of maize-legume intercropping systems. Using the model for long-term scenario simulations showed that intercropping allows to sustain productivity and to improve or maintain SOC stock in low or zero fertilizer systems if all residues are returned to the soil. In contrast, for sole-cropped maize systems, a decline in SOC stocks was simulated unless a minimum of 35 kg N ha⁻¹ yr⁻¹ of fertilizer was applied at full residue return. We conclude that intercropping using legumes alongside sufficient residue return allows for stabilizing long-term yields while avoiding SOC losses even with low fertilizer N inputs.

Here we present vertically resolved profiles of ammonia, urea, and nitrite oxidation rates and their kinetic traits in the oligotrophic Subtropical North Pacific. Our results show active urea-derived nitrogen oxidation (urea-N oxidation) in the presence of experimental ammonium amendment, suggesting direct urea utilization. The depth-integrated rates of urea-N oxidation and ammonia oxidation are comparable, demonstrating that urea-N oxidation is a significant source of nitrite. The additional nitrite from urea-N oxidation helps to balance the two steps of nitrification in our study region. Nitrifiers exhibit high affinity for their substrates, and the apparent half-saturation constants for ammonia and nitrite oxidation decrease with depth. The apparent half-saturation constant for urea-N oxidation is higher than that for ammonia oxidation and shows no clear vertical trend. Such kinetic traits may account for the relatively higher urea concentration than ammonium concentration in the ocean's interior. Moreover, a compilation of our results and reported data shows a trend of increased urea-N oxidation relative to ammonia oxidation from the eutrophic coastal zone to the oligotrophic open ocean.

Bacterial community structure was a better predictor of soil P fractions than P-cycling genes along the chronosequence. After glacier retreat, the solubilization of inorganic P and the mineralization of organic P were significantly enhanced by increased bacterial diversity, changed interspecific interactions, and abundant species involved in soil P mineralization, thereby increasing P availability. Although 84% of P-cycling genes were associated with organic P mineralization, these genes were more closely associated with soil organic carbon than with organic P. Bacterial carbon demand probably determined soil P turnover, indicating the dominant role of organic matter decomposition processes in P-rich alpine soils.
