Funded Activity Summary

Can ecological theory help to unravel microbial regulation of soil functions? Much attention has been paid to relationships between ecosystem health and biodiversity in above-ground communities, yet little notice is taken of the vast below-ground soil microbial communities. This project will reveal if soil microbial diversity is similarly important for ecosystem function in the face of future environmental challenges.
