The Microbial Ecology Section of ESA supports ecologists who work with microbes and related microbial processes as their subjects of interest. We ask the same sort of ecological questions that would ...

This month, microbiologists gather at ISME12 in Australia to deliberate advances in microbial ecology that could benefit the planet. What are the key challenges for this blossoming field?

Microbial ecology is the study of the interactions of microorganisms with their environment, each other, and plant and animal species. It includes the study of symbioses, biogeochemical cycles and ...

Ecology and evolution of species interactions in a changing ... We are specifically focused on plant rhizosphere and human lung microbiomes and how interactions within these microbial communities ...

Microbial ecology, biogeochemical cycles, and plant-microbe interactions. Theoretical (modeling) and experimental approaches are used to study the ecology of microorganisms in natural and disturbed ...

In addition to temperature, oxygen and moisture affect the microbial activity. In a project funded by the Academy of Finland and the University of Helsinki we will study the function and role of the ...

Researchers document the comprehensive responses of microbial community characteristics to degradation processes using field-based sampling, and conduct soil microcosm experiments to simulate ...

My research interests lie in the field of ecosystem science with a focus on the role of the microbial community in biogeochemical processes such as nutrient and carbon cycling. I am interested in ...
