Microorganisms or key factors affecting global warming

Technology Frontiers Beijing, May 26th (Reporter Deng Hui)How much carbon is in the soil on Earth? How does organic carbon form and long-term store in soil? Recently, researchers from Tsinghua University and Cornell University led an international team to carry out in-depth interdisciplinary research in the fields of ecology and computer science, using artificial intelligence and data assimilation technology to reveal the decisive role of microbial carbon use efficiency on global soil organic carbon storage. The above achievement is titled "Microbial carbon utilization efficiency promotes global soil carbon storage" and was recently published in the journal Nature...
