Wealth of Unsuspected New Microbes Expands Tree of Life

April 11, 2016

The Tree of Life, which depicts how life has evolved and diversified on the planet, is getting a lot more complicated. UC Berkeley researchers, who have discovered more than a thousand new types of bacteria and Archaea over the past 15 years lurking in Earth’s nooks and crannies, have rejiggered the tree to account for…

Lara Kueppers, Women @ The Lab 2015

Women Scientists and Engineers Council (WSEC) at Berkeley Lab advocates for career development and work-life balance for women. Anyone (including men) who advocates for women in the sciences can become a member. Ongoing throughout the year, WSEC holds events and contributes to lab-wide efforts. Each division sends an official representative. EGD’s WSEC representative is Romy…

Robinson Negrón-Juárez, Charles Koven, William Riley, Ryan Knox, and Jeff Chambers, researchers in EESA and CESD, published a letter in Environmental Research Letters showing that most earth system models (ESM) overpredict tropical forest biomass in response to increased forest productivity. In contrast, observations show that as tropical forest productivity increases, trees do not continue to store CO2 at…

Which processes most strongly govern terrestrial carbon cycle feedbacks in Earth system models?

October 12, 2015

Graphic comparing various turnover times for carbon in vegetation and soil carbon pools.

ESMs (Earth system models) are crucial in estimating climate sensitivity, but show large uncertainty in carbon cycle feedbacks. A key step of reducing this uncertainty is to identify the processes that govern carbon-climate and carbon-concentration feedbacks driven by changes in terrestrial carbon stocks. Are these changing carbon stocks driven by changes to inputs, or changes…
