Abstract:
Ecoenzymatic stoichiometry provides a promising avenue for deciphering resource constraints on soil microbial metabolism but is hampered by limitations in current modelling techniques. Herein we developed new models for quantifying microbial metabolic limitations based on the stoichiometric and metabolic theories of ecology, using an extensive database (n = 2,667) that revealed relationships far from the widely recognized mean ratio of 1:1:1 for carbon : nitrogen : phosphorus (C : N : P) acquiring enzyme activities.
Keywords:
biogeochemical cycles; ecoenzymatic stoichiometry; ecological modelling; microbial macroecology; microbial metabolic limitation; soil microorganisms
