Biography

Dr. Joseph "Joey" Blankinship is an Assistant Professor in the Department of Soil, Water, and Environmental Science at the University of Arizona, beginning there in January 2017. Joey grew up in the clayey soils near Richmond, Virginia, and earned his bachelor’s degree in Environmental Sciences in 2002 from the University of Virginia. He then headed west, earning his PhD in Biology in 2009 from Northern Arizona University in Flagstaff, followed by two postdoctoral research positions at University of California Merced and Santa Barbara. The Blankinship Microbial Biogeochemistry Group investigates the roles of soil microorganisms in controlling ecosystem services, including their glues that help prevent wind and water erosion, their extracellular enzymes that unlock plant nutrients, their residues that sequester carbon, and their metabolic activities that produce and consume atmospheric greenhouse gases. We work across biology, chemistry, physics, and engineering to find ways to improve soil and plant health, restore ecosystem functions, and sustain desert agriculture.

    More info
    Understanding the controls on the amount and persistence of soil organic carbon (C) is essential for predicting its sensitivity to global change. The response may depend on whether C is unprotected, isolated within aggregates, or protected from decomposition by mineral associations. Here, we present a global synthesis of the relative influence of environmental factors on soil organic C partitioning among pools, abundance in each pool (mg C g  soil), and persistence (as approximated by radiocarbon abundance) in relatively unprotected particulate and protected mineral-bound pools. We show that C within particulate and mineral-associated pools consistently differed from one another in degree of persistence and relationship to environmental factors. Soil depth was the best predictor of C abundance and persistence, though it accounted for more variance in persistence. Persistence of all C pools decreased with increasing mean annual temperature (MAT) throughout the soil profile, whereas persistence increased with increasing wetness index (MAP/PET) in subsurface soils (30-176 cm). The relationship of C abundance (mg C g  soil) to climate varied among pools and with depth. Mineral-associated C in surface soils (
