I presented in the FEMS Microbiology Ecology Webinar series on our recently published study measuring how forest soil microbial diversity and function respond to experimental warming. This work was done in collaboration with researchers at the Boreal Forest Warming at an Ecotone in Danger experiment (B4WarmED) in northern Minnesota.
