New paper just out in Science Advances, led by Humboldt fellow Yongxing Cui in the lab:
Productivity-driven decoupling of microbial carbon use efficiency and respiration across global soils

Productivity-driven decoupling of microbial carbon use efficiency and respiration across global soils
Resource-dependent microbial adaptability decouples microbial growth from respiration and limits soil carbon storage.

Really fun couple of days at #BESAG capped off by a great talk from Olivier Leger about his wildlife art! @bes-aquaticgroup.bsky.social

I have an MRC-funded PhD project available (www.exeter.ac.uk/study/fundin...) on how warming will change the problem of AMR. Join a small and friendly group (padpadpadpad.netlify.app/about) in (sometimes) sunny Cornwall. 🧪🦠 #microsky

Great to have our new tree hole paper out!
🚨Fresh out of press!
How do wild bacterial communities respond to environmental perturbations like liming?
We experimentally evolved them to find out!

Eco-evolutionary robustness of wild bacterial communities to experimental perturbation
Abstract. Most knowledge about bacterial evolution and ecological interactions comes from laboratory studies. One difference between the wild and most labo
