We study the collection of microbial taxa and their functional attributes across physicochemical gradients, and seek to understand how these microbiomes dynamically respond to environmental perturbations

We study the processes and mechanisms structuring microbiomes in space and time. This draws on theoretical background of ecology and provides novel ways to understand microbial diversity

Climate change impacts the physiology and distribution of organisms. We study how microbiomes affect and will be affected by climate change, with a focus on carbon sequestration and soil biogeochemistry
