Protecting climate-sensitive soil ecosystems
Researchers from Pacific Northwest National Laboratory reviewed the current state of knowledge about the impacts of climate change on soil microorganisms in different climate-sensitive soil ecosystems.
Integrative Network Modeling Reveals Key Drought-Associated Genes Key in the Soil Microbiome
Researchers performed a combined analysis of metabolic and gene co-expression networks to explore how the soil microbiome responds to changes in moisture and nutrient conditions.
Thirteen Researchers from Pacific Northwest National Laboratory Among World’s Most Highly Cited
From developing new energy storage materials to revealing patterns of Earth’s complex systems, studies led by PNNL researchers are recognized for their innovation and influence.
Drought Spells Changes for Soil Microbes
Researchers at the U.S. Department of Energy’s Pacific Northwest National Laboratory and Kansas State University found that soil drying significantly affected the structure and function of soil microbial communities.
Using the Metaproteome to Uncover the Microbiome of the Complex Soil Environment
Scientists can now generate a protein database directly from proteomics data gathered from a specific soil sample using a digital tool and deep learning computer model called Kaiko.
Soils from Six Continents Add Up to Largest Database of Viruses Beneath Our Feet
Scientists plumbed the depths of nearly 3,000 soil samples from around the globe to compile the heftiest atlas of soil viruses ever created.
Moisture Modulates Soil Reservoirs of Active DNA and RNA Viruses
Soil moisture influences both the activity of soil DNA viruses, as well as the composition and abundance of RNA viruses.
