Just in time for COP28 (the UN Climate Change Conference), Nature Microbiology is out with an issue dedicated to the role of microbes in climate change!
The issue highlights the need for microbiologists to have a greater voice in the climate space, as we know and continue to learn just how crucial microbes are for the maintenance of a healthy climate, and how shifting weather patterns threaten to offset many delicate microbial ecological balances.
Head on over and check it out to read up on the ocean microbiome, climate’s impact on vector-borne diseases, soil microbes in an age of wildfires and drought, and much more!
