AbstractMicrobial carbon use efficiency (CUE) affects the fate and storage of carbon in terrestrial ecosystems, but its global importance remains uncertain. Accurately modeling and predicting CUE on a global scale is challenging due to inconsistencies in measurement techniques and the complex interactions of climatic, edaphic, and biological factors across scales.

Introduction The question of whether the decomposition of complex polymers, such as lignin and similar compounds, represents a significant rate-limiting step to terrestrial carbon (C) cycling has been a subject of extensive research. However, a gap in understanding of the mechanistic controls on the decomposition of these recalcitrant compounds remains (Thevenot et al., 2010; Hall et al., 2020).
