PNNL scientists discover new soil viruses across different climates.

Soil moisture influences both the activity of soil DNA viruses, as well as the composition and abundance of RNA viruses.

Knowing which bacteria in a community are involved with carbon cycling could help scientists predict how microbial carbon storage and release could influence future climate dynamics.

New research aids the design of more efficient water purification technologies.

Microbiome and soil chemistry characterization at long-term bioenergy research sites challenges idea that switchgrass increases carbon accrual in surface soils of marginal lands.
