Investigate the potential feedback effects of climate change

Examine the roles of microorganisms in driving biogeochemical cycles, greenhouse gas emissions, and climate feedback mechanisms in terrestrial and aquatic ecosystems. Discuss how microbial activities, such as carbon fixation, methane production, and nitrogen cycling, influence global carbon and nutrient cycles, as well as the resilience and vulnerability of ecosystems to climate change impacts. Investigate the potential feedback effects of climate change on microbial communities, including shifts in microbial diversity, metabolic activity, and ecosystem services, as well as implications for ecosystem function, biodiversity loss, and planetary health.
