Solar radiation is an important contributing factor to decomposition in drylands. Research suggests that in the presence of water, previously irradiated plant litter experiences greater microbial decay than litter which was not exposed to radiation. It is unclear how exactly radiation alters litter to allow this photopriming of microbial decomposition. However, the relationship to water suggests that radiation may make litter more water-soluble, and therefore more accessible to decomposers once water enters the system. I tested the hypothesis that the abiotic impact of solar radiation on grass litter would (1) increase the production of dissolved organic carbon (DOC) when litter is subsequently extracted with water, and (2) produce DOC that stimulates more microbial activity compared to unexposed litter. Dried senesced grass litter from three species, Bromus diandrus, Avena fatua, and Hordeum murinum, were placed in sealed bags and subjected to abiotic decomposition in either an outdoor experiment or an indoor experiment. Treated litter was then soaked in water, and the extract was analyzed to determine the dissolved organic carbon concentration and its bioavailability. Exposure to radiation resulted in more DOC for all species in both the indoor and outdoor experiments, suggesting that solar radiation does enhance solubility of grass litter. During a microbial incubation, I observed a significant increase in CO2 production and a marginally significant increase in DOC consumption for samples exposed to more radiation in the indoor experiment. However, as a fraction of initial DOC available, radiation reduced these measures of microbial activity. This indicates that photodegradation produces compounds which are relatively difficult for microbes to decompose, but photodegradation can still stimulate microbial activity by increasing the total amount of available dissolved carbon. Taken together, these results suggest a possible mechanism for observed increases in mass loss due to photopriming: litter carbon is made more soluble by radiation, and is mobilized in the presence of water, allowing for increased microbial decomposition. This insight into decomposition mechanisms could aid in developing more mechanistic models of carbon cycling that include photopriming.
