Biogeochemistry<span></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin:0in 0in 8pt;line-height:107%;font-size:11pt;font-family:"Calibri",sans-serif"><b>Abstract</b>: Soil microorganisms are the engines that drive
global biogeochemical cycles, impacting the flow of nutrients to all life on
Earth and many ecosystem services we depend on, such as crop production and
carbon sequestration. Yet, while ecosystem processes are measured at
macroscales, the underlying microbial functions occur at micro-scales over a
million times smaller than that of their impact. Linking soil microorganisms
and microbial scale processes to macroscale ecosystem function remains one of
the greatest challenges in soil microbial ecology, necessitating multi-scale
approaches to link soil microorganisms and ecosystem processes. My work has
used a multi-scale approach to study the controls on and contributions from
free-living nitrogen fixation (FLNF). FLNF, biological nitrogen fixation carried
out by heterotrophic bacteria in soils, is an important ecosystem process and
terrestrial N source. Globally, FLNF is estimated to contribute approximately
one-third of all biological fixed N each year. However, the controls on this
process and the mechanisms of resulting nitrogen contributions remain poorly
understood. I will present on a series of studies examining these controls and
contributions from FLNF across scales from macroscale field studies to
microscale microbial studies. <span></span></p>
