Does anyone know of a protocol for measuring microbial biomass C and N in wood? Is there reason to think chloroform fumigation wouldn't work if you ground up the wood?

New A Biro, SA Batterman, @jane-lucas-phd.bsky.social paper finds S African trees grow better w/ native soil microbes than sterile soil but trees + microbes both suffered in drought conditions, w/ implications for savanna carbon sinks.

Native soil microbes buffer savanna trees against nutrient limitation but are drought sensitive
Below-ground microbial symbionts increased savanna tree growth in limited resource environments and could be critical for plant growth in the field. However, drought substantially affected both tree ...

👀 Ok, if true this is a shocking way to blast through the forest canopy, remove lianas, & dominate "The idea that lightning strikes give almendros a competitive advantage-The almendro tree is so tolerant of strikes, in fact, that it may well be summoning lightning" www.science.org/content/arti... 🌐🧪
Shocker: This tropical tree thrives after being struck by lightning
The almendro withstands thunderbolts that blast away parasitic vines
