Soil carbon dioxide emissions controlled by an extracellular oxidative metabolism identifiable by its isotope signature

Soil heterotrophic respiration is a major determinant of the carbon (C) cycle and its interactions with climate. Given the complexity of the respiratory machinery, it is traditionally considered that oxidation of organic C into carbon dioxide (CO<sub>2</sub>) strictly results from int...
