Linking microbial diversity with ecosystem functioning through a trait framework.

Linking microbial diversity with ecosystem functioning through a trait framework. J Biosci. 2019 Oct;44(5): Authors: Wang JT, Egidi E, Li J, Singh BK Abstract Trait-based microbial biogeography provides a path for the mechanistic understanding of relationships between microbial diversity and ecosystem functioning. In this mini-review, we identify the scenarios in which to use traits to characterize the microbial community and propose a simple trait-based conceptual framework to link microbial communities with ecosystem functions.
