Climate Change in Natural Ecosystems

For several years we have been exploring how microbial responses to multiple global changes fluctuate over time, space, and in relation to local adaptation and natural disturbance.

Specific Projects:

 

  • We are also finalizing work to better understand the role of microbial communities in ecosystem responses to global change by investigating microbial responses to wildfire disturbance and multiple global changes at the Jasper Ridge Global Change Experiment.
