Scaling the Microbial Ecology of Soil Carbon

Lead Institution

Pacific Northwest National Laboratory

Principal Investigator

Kirsten Hofmockel

We propose to determine the ecology of soil microbial responses to experimental warming, by utilizing EMSL capabilities to quantifying growth, mortality, and C use and growth efficiency, as modulated…

Evaluating Spatial and Molecular Drivers of Microbial Function

Lead Institution

Pacific Northwest National Laboratory

Principal Investigator

Kirsten Hofmockel

One of the greatest and most persistent challenges in the field of soil ecology is the establishment of a direct and predictable link between soil microorganisms and ecosystem function. Soil…

Colocalization of Minerals and Persistent Microbial-derived Organic Matter in Soil

Lead Institution

Pacific Northwest National Laboratory

Principal Investigator

Kirsten Hofmockel

Microorganisms are considered a dominant source of persistent soil organic matter (SOM); yet the persistence of microbial-derived organic matter (OM) remains to be discovered. In the proposed work we…
