19 Microbes, Ecology and Global Change

Planet in Crisis

Microbes are crucial to most ecological processes, but often overlooked (out of sight, out of mind). Dave Wilkinson discusses what scientists have learned about microbes. He digs into the importance of soil microbes in agriculture, and shares how scientists believe climate change will affect microbes. Wilkinson is visiting Professor in Ecology at the University of Lincoln, and an honorary research fellow in archaeology at Nottingham University. His book Fundamental Processes in Ecology; An Earth Systems Approach, won the British Ecological Societies book award for 2007.
