Interested in how microbial interactions influence carbon biogeochem? So are we! Check out our latest work using lots and lots of simulations to explore how removing functional taxa from a microbial community influences decomposition. Spoiler: Stress matters! onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1111/...
The Impact of Microbial Interactions on Ecosystem Function Intensifies Under Stress
We use a trait-based model of microbial litter decomposition to build a novel framework for how different taxa impact ecosystem function. We highlight the interplay between taxon traits and environme...
