The elusive structure and function of peatland fine roots

Lead Institution

Pacific Northwest National Laboratory

Principal Investigator

Avni Malhotra

Project type

Exploratory Research

Peatlands store one-third of the global soil organic carbon pool. Yet, the climate change responses of plant roots, which directly contact and shape this pool, remain elusive. We aim to estimate…

The role of microbial predation and cooperation on soil carbon pathways measured through multi-omics

Lead Institution

Pacific Northwest National Laboratory

Principal Investigator

Bram WG Stone

Project type

FICUS Research

Soil microorganisms drive the decomposition of terrestrial carbon, releasing CO2 into the atmosphere and retaining additional pools belowground. Thus, a critical parameter in climate modeling efforts…

Resolving taxon-specific contributions to nutrient cycling in soil microbial communities through stable isotope enabled multi-omics

Mechanistic and predictive understanding of microbial nutrient cycling requires deconvoluting the outcomes of multiple population- and community-scale processes. Yet quantitative knowledge of…

The microbial impact of soil carbon and nutrient transformations: scaling and stoichiometry

Lead Institution

Principal Investigator

Kirsten Hofmockel

The proposed work is centered around the combination of stable isotope probing (SIP) techniques with high resolution -omics data to resolve the movement of ecologically critical elements (carbon,…

Scaling microbial carbon use efficiency from the individual to the community

Lead Institution

Pacific Northwest National Laboratory

Principal Investigator

Bram WG Stone

Soil microorganisms are recognized as the key agents in the global biogeochemical cycling of nutrients important for life such as carbon (C), nitrogen (N), and phosphorus (P). Soil organic matter…
