Can Microbial Ecology and Mycorrhizal Functioning Inform Climate Change Models?

Lead Institution

Pacific Northwest National Laboratory

Principal Investigator

Kirsten Hofmockel

Using archived samples from forest Free Air CO2 Enrichment (FACE) experiments, field measurements from the Marcell Experimental Forest (MEF) and the Spruce and Peatland Response Under Climatic and…

In situ characterization of associations and resource exchange between free-living nitrogen-fixers and switchgrass

Lead Institution

Pacific Northwest National Laboratory

Principal Investigator

Kirsten Hofmockel

This project will increase our understanding of carbon (C) and nitrogen (N) exchange in the rhizosphere. Specifically, we aim to understand how free-living nitrogen-fixing bacteria (diazotrophs) may…

Disentangling the role of microbial interactions and spatial structure in soil organic matter decomposition

Lead Institution

Pacific Northwest National Laboratory

Principal Investigator

Ryan McClure

Project type

Exploratory Research

The study of the soil microbiome is critical to understanding the ecological functions carried out by soil microorganisms, particularly with respect to the cycling of carbon (C) and nitrogen (N)…
