Microbes as engines of ecosystem function: when does community structure enhance predictions of ecosystem processes?

Microbes as engines of ecosystem function: when does community structure enhance predictions of ecosystem processes?

Microorganisms are vital in mediating the earth’s biogeochemical cycles; yet, despite our rapidly increasing ability to explore complex environmental microbial communities, the relationship between microbial community structure and ecosystem processes remains poorly understood. Here, we address a fu...
