Climate change will lead to pronounced shifts in the diversity of soil microbial communities

Joshua Ladau, Yu Shi, Xin Jing, Jin-Sheng He, Litong Chen, Xiangui Lin, Noah Fierer, Jack A Gilbert, Katherine S Pollard, Haiyan Chu

The paper predicts climate change will increase soil bacterial diversity in parts of the Tibetan Plateau and northern North America due to a lag in soil communities adjusting to current climate conditions.
