SUMMARY:Belowground Microbial Community Responses to Climate Change: Resis
 tance\, Resilience\, and Alternative States  - Professor Richard Bardgett\
 , University of Manchester
DTSTART:20220519T120000Z

CONTACT:Jake Harris
DESCRIPTION:A vast diversity of microbial life is found in soil\, forming 
 one of the most complex ecological communities on Earth. These soil microb
 ial communities play major roles in shaping terrestrial ecosystems\, but t
 hey are increasingly challenged by perturbations associated with human-ind
 uced environment change\, including climate extremes\, which are predicted
  to increase in frequency and intensity with ongoing climate change. \n\nI
 n this talk\, I will present recent research exploring the intrinsic and e
 xtrinsic factors that influence the capacity of soil microbial communities
  to resist and recover from climate extremes\, and their capacity to trigg
 er abrupt transitions to alternative microbial states. \n\nDue to having t
 o go online\, we are restricting the talks to University of Cambridge and 
 alumni to keep them as informal as possible.\n\nContact reception@plantsci
