Transparent soil microcosms for live-cell imaging and non-destructive stable isotope probing of soil microorganisms

Microscale processes are critically important to soil ecology and biogeochemistry yet are difficult to study due to soil’s opacity and complexity. To advance the study of soil processes, we constructed transparent soil microcosms that enable the visualization of microbes via fluorescence microscopy...
