Replying to @ASMicrobiology
@ASMicrobiology – Not in the mood to read all 300 pages of the @theNASciences report out yesterday linking soil health to human health. @kaliknei and I will break it down, focusing on all things microbe. Come join us #ASMicrobe ! MTE 515 pm tonight, B304. nap.edu/catalog/27459

Out now in @NatureMicrobiol, from @bmcgivern13 and the @EMERGE_BII team. We investigated a long held view in peatland systems- the enzyme latch theory- from a microbial perspective. @doescience @NSF @CSUAgSci (1/n) nature.com/articles/s41564-0…

Talented microbes unlatch peatland carbon

Nature Microbiology - The vast stores of high-latitude peatland carbon are thought to be resistant to microbial degradation, but a multi-omics investigation suggests this might not be the case.

#ESA2023 folks!!! In Portland and SO excited to give a talk in an organized oral session (OOS 41-4, Wed @ 10 am) all about the post-fire soil microbiome. Sneak peak to my talk - soil microbes are resilient over multidecadal timescales 🔥
