How Microbial Functional Traits Regulate Terrestrial Carbon And Nutrient Cycling From Local To Global Scales

Session ID#: 82164

Session Description:
Microbial functional traits regulate fundamental cycles of carbon and nutrients and are key bridges linking microbial dynamics with Earth system functioning (e.g., climate-carbon feedbacks). However, we still have limited understanding about the spatiotemporal distribution of microbial functional traits. We don’t know how traits change with environmental or climatic changes. Additionally, the definition of a “microbial functional trait” varies across studies and applied approaches, leading to significant challenges in integrating data and findings from different fields to model carbon and nutrient cycling.

This session aims to integrate cross-disciplinary studies to generate deep insights into microbial functional traits involved in carbon, nitrogen, and phosphorus cycles from micro- to macro-scales. We strongly encourage studies involving data-driven biogeography of microbial functional traits and associated spatiotemporal patterns in carbon and nutrient cycle modeling. We also welcome experimental studies that integrate novel tools (e.g., -omics) with manipulative field experiments to address microbial functions under changing environments.
