UMass Amherst microbiologist will lead new soil warming studies

(University of Massachusetts at Amherst) Microbial ecologist Kristen DeAngelis at UMass Amherst has an NSF CAREER award that will support research and teaching on soil microbes and their response to environmental change. She will enlist a small army of microbiology students who will annotate soil microbe genomes, map traits and carry out other investigations in bacteria in the lab and at Harvard Forest, home to the longest running soil warming experiment in the world, now 26 years.
