[{"name":"li-2024-microbial-growth-respiration-1","title":"Time series of soil microbial growth and respiration rates after rewetting of dry soils","summary":"This data includes time series of soil bacterial growth rates, fungal growth rates, community-level respiration rates, and relevant environmental and soil condition information.\r\n\r\nThis data was collated from published laboratory studies to test the two hypotheses that: i) after rewetting of dry soil, the microbial resource investment shifts from stress tolerance to high yield or resource acquisition, fungal to bacterial dominance decreases through time, and carbon use efficiency increases up to a peak and then declines after rewetting; ii) soil and climatic conditions that have primed microbial communities to respond to stress promote faster shifts in life history strategy, fungal to bacterial dominance, and faster carbon use efficiency recovery after rewetting.\r\n\r\nData were generated mainly around 2018 to 2021, as described in ten publications that are used as basis for creating this dataset. This data could be used to understand microbial carbon use strategy after rewetting dry soils, as well as measure microbial resilience and resistance to droughts.","citations":"Li X, Leizeaga A, Rousk J, Zhou S, Hugelius G, Manzoni S (2024) Recovery of Soil Microbial Metabolism After Rewetting Depends on Interacting Environmental Conditions and Changes in Functional Groups and Life History Strategies.
