b"In this podcast for Functional Ecology, Assistant Editor, Frank Harris, sits down with two Guest Editors\\u2014Pablo Garc\\xeda-Palacios and Ji Chen\\u2014 to discuss our recently published Special Feature on soil carbon storage. \\n\\nRead the Special Feature for free here: https://besjournals.onlinelibrary.wiley.com/toc/13652435/2022/36/6\\n\\nA transcript of this podcast is available to read here: https://functionalecologists.com/2022/06/30/emerging-relationships-among-microbes-soil-carbon-storage-and-climate-change-podcast-transcript/\\n\\nThe Guest Editors' Functional Ecology blogpost can be read here: https://functionalecologists.com/2022/06/07/pablo-garcia-palacios-ji-chen-emerging-relationships-among-soil-microbes-carbon-dynamics-and-climate-change/\\n\\nThe Special Feature identifies emerging findings from soil microbial ecology and climate change research that can reduce uncertainty if incorporated into theory and models. The contributions span from novel perspectives on the priming effect and soil microbial enzymes, to understudied key biomes for global soil C such as tropical forests, to plant inputs\\u2013microbial necromass\\u2013mineral interactions, to soil C and microbial responses to changing precipitation patterns and recent advances in trait-based and soil C modelling.\\n\\nTogether, this collection of papers draws attention to novel frameworks and ideas that can pave the road for future research on microbial contribution to soil C turnover and storage under climate change."
