Great job to Rina Estera-Molina & her @Firestone_Lab team for showcasing our 13CO2 labeling facility in a high level visit! We were honored to have @DrChavonda from the @USDA stop by to see how we track carbon from plant to microbes to minerals. @Livermore_Lab @doescience
We were honored to give @USDA Under Secretary @DrChavonda Jacobs-Young a peek at UC Berkeley research during a tour of the Oxford Facility's greenhouse and field space last week. Read more about the research and her visit: nature.berkeley.edu/news/202…

Exciting job opportunities in Hawai‘i! The new Hawai‘i Soil Microbiome Lab smil.bio/ led by Dr. Maggie Yuan @uhmanoa is hiring a lab tech and a postdoc to work on soil-borne pathogen ecology. Spread the word! docs.google.com/document/d/1… docs.google.com/document/d/1…

Our paper exploring AMF carbon transfer to the hyphosphere microbial food web and mineral-assossiated organic matter is out today in a special issue of @NewPhyt! 🌿 Read it here: doi.org/10.1111/nph.19560 🍄@Jeffinerca @ecologicaljack @Firestone_Lab @erinnuccio

Our manuscript is out: 'The path from root input to mineral-associated soil carbon is dictated by habitat-specific microbial traits and soil moisture.' We show that the microbial traits associated with soil C are not universal, but vary with soil habitat. sciencedirect.com/science/ar…

Soil viruses the minute the first seasonal rainfall hits the ground:

Replying to @cmsantosm
Despite vast compositional differences across soils, rewetting of dry soils consistently resulted in a bloom of viral diversity (up to a >30-fold increase in vOTU richness 24 h after wet-up!), followed by extreme turnover of viral populations.

Do soil #viruses drive #GHG emissions? In dry systems, soil microbes start to multiply rapidly after the first rain (“wet-up”). A massive die-off happens too, releasing a huge burst of #CO2. nature.com/articles/s41467-0…
