Molecu lar methods including DNA sequencing have begun to elucidate the forces go verning the assembly and maintenance of plant and soil microbial communiti es\, offering the opportunity for these microbial communities to be nurtur ed and manipulated to promote plant growth and health as well as soil heal th and ecosystem functions.\n\nWe have combined omics methods\, biogeochem ical assays\, and gas flux measurements to investigate the factors influen cing greenhouse gas emissions from natural and managed wetland systems. By integrating these datasets we find that gas fluxes represent a complex in terplay of biological\, chemical\, and physical factors that vary across h abitats. Our results suggest considerable heterogeneity in fluxes even in physically proximate locations that have implications for the success of w etland preservation and restoration as a carbon storage strategy\, particu larly in the context of sea level rise.\n\nIn agricultural systems\, we fi nd that different plant compartments (e.g. rhizosphere and root endosphere ) harbor unique and dynamic microbial communities heavily influenced by th e soil\, surrounding environment and host genotype. Abiotic stress\, such as drought and low nitrogen\, can alter both the composition of these comm unities and their interactions with each other and the plant. Our sequence -based characterizations of plant-associated communities\, leveraging a va riety of bioinformatic tools\, have identified key populations that struct ure the community and respond dynamically to environmental changes\, repre senting potential targets for improvement of plant resilience.\n\nSpeaker( s): Susannah Green Tinge\, \n\nAgenda: \n6:00 pm Introduction\n\n7:00 pm A djourn\n\nVirtual: https://events.vtools.ieee.org/m/452888 LOCATION:Virtual: https://events.vtools.ieee.org/m/452888 ORGANIZER:e.perkins@ieee.org SEQUENCE:30 SUMMARY:SusTech Talk Jan 2025 -Sequence-based interrogation of soil microbi omes and their ecosystem benefits URL;VALUE=URI:https://events.vtools.ieee.org/m/452888 X-ALT-DESC:Description: <br /><h3><strong>&ldquo\;Sequence-based interrogat ion of soil microbiomes and their ecosystem benefits&rdquo\;</strong></h3> \n<p>with <strong>Susannah Green Tringe</strong>\, Lawrence Berkeley Natio nal Laboratory</p>\n<p><strong>Date/Time:</strong> Tuesday\, January 28\, 2025\; 6:00-7:00 pm PST\, 9-10 pm EST</p>\n<p><strong>Abstract:</strong></ p>\n<p style="text-align: justify\;">Plants roots and the soil they grow i n are heavily colonized with microbes that play critical roles in nutrient cycling and transport as well as influencing plant growth and health. <st rong>Molecular methods including DNA sequencing have begun to elucidate th e forces governing the assembly and maintenance of plant and soil microbia l communities</strong>\, offering the opportunity for these microbial comm unities to be nurtured and manipulated to promote plant growth and health as well as soil health and ecosystem functions.</p>\n<p style="text-align: justify\;">We have combined omics methods\, biogeochemical assays\, and g as flux measurements <strong>to investigate the factors influencing greenh ouse gas emissions from natural and managed wetland systems.</strong> By i ntegrating these datasets we find that gas fluxes represent a complex inte rplay of biological\, chemical\, and physical factors that vary across hab itats.
