Microbial trait-based models: Microbes play critical roles in biogeochemical cycling, but their diversity and metabolic flexibility are poorly captured by most models. Furthermore, the traits underpinning microbial response to environmental fluctuations are still the subject of debate. Here we identified a number of traits that determine microbial fitness over a range of environmental conditions and evaluate community emergence and nitrous oxide production.
We further use conceptual abstractions of soil microbial and algal physiology to better understand community dynamics, community interactions, and feedbacks to biogeochemical rates.
Examples of this work can be found here, here, and here!
