Abstract:A major challenge in microbiome research is understanding how natural communities respond to environmental change. The ecological, spatial, and chemical complexity of soils makes understanding how these communities respond metabolically to perturbations particularly challenging. Here we measure the dynamics of respiratory nitrate utilization in >1,500 soil microcosms from 20 soil samples subjected to pH perturbations. Despite the complexity of the soil microbiome a minimal mathematical model with two parame… Show more
