Climate change-induced soil biology

Abstract

Climate change is profoundly altering global ecosystems, with significant implications for soil biology. As rising temperatures, changing precipitation patterns, and extreme weather events reshape our environment, understanding the interactions between climate change and soil ecosystems is crucial for developing sustainable solutions. This chapter explores the role of soil biology in the context of climate change, highlighting how microbial communities are both impacted by and contribute to climate processes. This chapter offers a comprehensive overview of how soil biology is being reshaped by climate change and the importance of microbial research for mitigating its effects.
