At the Nexus of History, Ecology, and Hydrobiogeochemistry: Improved Predictions across Scales through Integration

ABSTRACT To improve predictions of ecosystem function in future environments, we need to integrate the ecological and environmental histories experienced by microbial communities with hydrobiogeochemistry across scales. A key issue is whether we can derive generalizable scaling relationships that de...
