Biotic and abiotic factors predict the biogeography of soil microbes in the Serengeti

2020-02-06

Abstract excerpt

Field-based observational research is the first step in understanding the factors that predict the biogeography and community structure of soil microbes. The Serengeti National Park in Tanzania is an ideal location for this type of research because active volcanoes generate strong environmental gradients due to ash deposition and a rain shadow. Also, as one of the last remaining naturally grazed ecosystems on Eart...
