FEMS Microbiology Ecology Webinar on Ecology of Soil Microorganisms

Soil is alive, and soil microorganisms are the driving force of elemental biogeochemical cycling and the bridge linking above- and below-ground ecosystem interactions. The microbial ecology of soils has the potential to answer multiple questions that not only advance our basic understanding of ecological principles, but are also relevant for the present focal areas of the anthropogenic effects, ecosystem productivity and other applied subjects. Originally aired on Thursday 12th November 2020, this webinar features featuring authors of recent papers in FEMS Microbiology Ecology: Moderator: Max Häggblom, Editor-in-Chief of FEMS Microbiology Ecology - Speaker 1: Michael E Van Nuland, Department of Biology, Stanford University, Stanford, CA, USA Author of: ME Van Nuland, DP Smith, JM Bhatnagar, A Stefanski, SE Hobbie, PB Reich, KG Peay.
