Illuminating Unique and Understudied Microbial Drivers of Biogeochemical Cycling and Environmental Change

Session ID#: 158858

Session Description:
Microorganisms play fundamental roles in structuring and regulating biogeochemical cycles across the globe. With the state of rapid flux in our world today, it is evermore critical to further develop our understandings of microbial interactions and functioning, from micro- to macroscales, in order to better anticipate the responses of various communities and ecosystems to environmental change and address an array of associated societal issues. Although recent technologies and tools have shed light on the contributions of priorly unknown or overlooked microbes and interactions in influencing rates of nutrient cycling and other ecosystem services, many questions surround the extent of this involvement across diverse environments and climatic factors, and how to predict future responses to ecological disturbances and environmental change. Greater knowledge and integration of how diverse microorganisms and their communities impact and mediate biogeochemical cycling is integral to advancing large-scale predictive modeling and microbial-based efforts for improved environmental and host health and fitness. This session invites studies that investigate microbes, microbial communities, and microbial-mediated processes that control carbon and nutrient cycling, plant-environment feedbacks, and impacts on ecosystem functioning. Of particular interest is research on biogeochemical processes that are driven by lineages and groups that are rare and/or understudied, including archaea, viruses, microeukaryotes, multitrophic interactions.
