Climate Change Impacts the Structure and Nitrogen‐Fixing Activities of Subarctic Feather Moss Microbiomes Across a Precipitation Gradient Associations between mosses and cyanobacteria are crucial sources of new nitrogen in arctic and subarctic ecosystems. The physiology of both mosses and cyanobacteria is strongly influenced by environ....

Does climate change have any lasting effects? Well, it depends on the species.

In our new article, we show that temperature and moisture drive persistent shifts in N-fixing communities associated with subarctic mosses.

Don’t deprioritize curiosity-driven research Around the world, governments are demanding that research funding follow broader political priorities. They should be careful what they wish for.

Microbial movement into soils occurs at a surprisingly local scale. By measuring dispersal rates and spatial patterns, this study challenges the assumption that microbes freely mix across environments.
