Kristen DeAngelis, 2019 PEP Fellow, published a new study finding shifts in the diversity of soil microbial communities can change the soil’s ability to sequester carbon, where it usually helps to regulate climate. DeAngelis explained, "empirical evidence for the response of soil carbon cycling to the combined effects of warming, drought and diversity loss is scarce."
