However, our understanding of the relationship between SOM decomposition and the PE under increasing salt stress remains limited in CVEs. In this study, we conducted a microcosm experiment with a full factorial design with salt stress and straw input to investigate the intensity of the PE and its contribution to SOM decomposition. Our findings revealed that salt stress reduced the rate of SOM decomposition, significantly impacting the intensity of the PE throughout the incubation period. Straw input induced a strong positive PE in the early stage under low salt stress, whereas high salt stress led to a markedly negative PE in the later stage of incubation. Salt stress and exogenous straw input collectively resulted in a notable decrease in soil prokaryotic diversity with salt-tolerant and oligotrophic microbial species playing pivotal roles in highly saline and SOM-deficient soils, accompanied by a relatively high fungi to bacteria ratio. The microbial co-occurrence network demonstrated a relatively high degree of modularity under nutrient-poor conditions, suggesting a cometabolic driving force for SOM decomposition.

This study employs a Monte Carlo approach to estimate H<sub>2</sub> and sulfate production via radiolysis in the Revell batholith (Ontario, Canada), a well characterized site which is representative of hydrogeologically tight conditions. Results are then compared to estimates from a similarly isolated, but more fractured site at Kidd Creek (Ontario, Canada) to examine the spectrum of elemental cycling and habitability that may exist in these globally widespread settings. At Revell, production rates for both H<sub>2</sub> and sulfate are substantially lower than for Kidd Creek.

Some of this increase is due to increasing seasonality of net ecosystem exchange in boreal and arctic ecosystems, although the mechanisms are still uncertain. For example, it is unknown how much of the increase is due to increases in gross primary productivity (GPP) during the growing season. Such an increase could be attributable either to global-scale CO<sub>2</sub> fertilization or to regional climate impacts, which may vary across the boreal zone. In this study, we use a global, spatially, and temporally contiguous solar-induced chlorophyll fluorescence (CSIF) data product from 2001 to 2019 (0.05°, 4-day resolution) to identify spatial, interannual, and long-term sensitivities (linear slopes) of GPP to temperature across boreal forests in Eurasia and North America. Across all evergreen needleleaf regions, spatial sensitivities of CSIF to temperature are stronger in magnitude when compared to interannual sensitivities, suggesting that there are limitations when performing space for time substitutions. We find that Eurasian forests generally have the strongest spatial sensitivity to temperature. Eurasian deciduous needleleaf forests show the highest growing season mean interannual sensitivity to temperature variations. Although all regions show a positive spatial and interannual relationship between productivity and temperature, in western North America, long-term warming may be curbing productivity gains.

By combining in situ trait measurements and forest census data with a terrestrial biosphere model, we evaluated the impact of observation-constrained light plasticity on demography, forest structure, and biomass dynamics in a Panamanian tropical moist forest. Modeled leaf physiological traits vary across and within plant functional types (PFT), which represent the inter-specific trait variation and the intra-specific light plasticity, respectively. The simulation using three non-plastic PFTs underestimated 20-year average understory growth rates by 41%, leading to a biased forest size structure and leaf area profile, and a 44% underestimate in long-term biomass. The simulation using three plastic PFTs generated accurate understory growth rates, resulting in a realistic forest structure and a smaller biomass underestimate of 15%. Expanding simulated trait diversity using 18 nonplastic PFTs similarly improved the prediction of demography and biomass. However, only the plasticity-enabled model predicted realistic long-term PFT composition and within-canopy trait profiles.

During an oceanographic campaign to the Peruvian shelf, we deployed benthic landers fitted with in situ lander pumps and a GEOTRACES compliant sampling rosette system. By overlapping the deployment of these instruments, we aimed to quantitatively assess the known deficiencies in assessment of TM concentrations and fluxes close to the seafloor. Across 7 locations over the Peruvian shelf, we observed consistent spatial trends between the two approaches with <20% difference for measured dissolved copper, nickel, and silicic acid concentrations. Dissolved Fe gradients were however notably stronger near the seafloor. Samples from in situ lander pumps typically suggested much higher concentrations at 0.5–5 m from the seafloor than samples from the rosette system deployed within 2 m of the seafloor. Similarly, estimated diffusive dissolved Fe (dFe) fluxes were a factor of 30–570× higher when derived using the concentration gradient from the in situ lander pumps over the inner/midshelf. The calculated residence time of dFe thus varies markedly with a range from 5 days to 7 years depending on how the benthic flux is constrained.

This study combines SIF data with a process-based vegetation integrative simulator for trace gases (VISIT-SIF) model to enhance GPP simulations in the Mase rice paddy field in Tsukuba, Japan. Using data assimilation techniques (Bayesian optimization) with both ground-based SIF data and satellite-derived SIF (CSIF) (both from 29 June 2019 to 10 September 2020), we optimized key model parameters and improved the simulation of GPP. Sensitivity analysis via SHapley Additive exPlanations (SHAP) revealed that the maximum rate of carboxylation (Vcamx)-related parameters significantly influence GPP, while the absorbed photosynthetically active radiation (APAR)-related parameters are more critical for SIF modeling. Model optimization resulted in substantial performance improvements, particularly in simulating GPP at half-hourly and daily scales. For half-hourly results, the <i>R</i><sup>2</sup> values of SIF improved from 0.37 to 0.60, and the relative error decreased from 124.21% to 63.39%, but the model went from underestimation to overestimation; for GPP, <i>R</i><sup>2</sup> values improved from 0.47 to 0.68, relative error decreased from 150.00% to 47.85%, and the model's tendency to underestimate has been mitigated. At the daily scale, model simulations demonstrated higher <i>R</i><sup>2</sup> values and lower relative errors than observations. Using the CSIF data set also improved the model but was less effective than densely measured ground SIF. Further, we explored the relationship between SIF and GPP on half-hourly scale, daily scale, and weekly scale and found that the larger the time scale, the stronger the linear relationship of SIF-GPP. Overall, using SIF as a proxy for GPP and optimizing key parameters through data assimilation significantly enhanced the simulation accuracy of the VISIT model.
