BioScales - Defining plant gene function and its connection to ecosystem nitrogen and carbon cycling Metagenome. BioScales - Defining plant gene function and its connection to ecosystem nitrogen and carbon cycling

The goal of this study is to understand how targeted genomic factors are involved in carbon and nitrogen cycling in the bioenergy relevant model species Populus, how they scale through root derived metabolites, to the soil microbiome, and thereby contribute to enhanced biogeochemical processes.
