Projects: Ecosystems Biology Program

Mapping Soil Carbon from Cradle to Grave

  • Ecosystems Biology Program

In this EESA project, scientists seek to define a molecular blueprint for how organic carbon decomposition and stabilization processes in soil are impacted by the interactions between plant roots, the soil microbial community (bacteria, archaea, fungi, microfauna) and the soil matrix.

Microbes to Biomes (M2B): Harnessing the Soil Microbome for Food and Fuel Security

  • Ecosystems Biology Program

Microbes-to-Biomes (M2B) is a Berkeley Lab-wide initiative designed to reveal, decode, and harness microbes—the most abundant and diverse life form on Earth—in ways that protect our fuel and food supplies, environmental security, and personal health. It was launched in early 2015, featuring five projects funded through the LDRD program.

ENIGMA

  • Ecosystems Biology Program

ENIGMA— Ecosystems and Networks Integrated with Genes and Molecular Assemblies—seeks to advance understanding of microbial biology and the impact of microbial communities on their ecosystems. Team members collaborate closely to generate detailed quantitative understanding across scales—from molecular to cellular and community levels. Scientists within ENIGMA have the technological and scientific skills and experience to link environmental microbiological field-studies to both highly advanced field and laboratory meta-functional genomic and genetics tools.

Berkeley Synchrotron Infrared Structural Biology Imaging Project

  • Ecosystems Biology Program

The Berkeley Synchrotron Infrared Structural Biology (BSISB) Imaging Program develops and offers state-of-the-art instrumentation for characterizing and imaging interactions among plants, microbes and their environments.
