Shuang is interested in feedbacks from terrestrial ecosystems to climate change. Her recent
work include estimating methane and nitrous oxide responses to warming and elevated CO2
concentrations and forecasting in a northern peatland ecosystem. She uses process-based
modeling and data assimilation to advance predictability in Earth System Models and detecting
ecosystem acclimation in response to climate change.

A trio of illustrated panels depicts the soil microbial communities in three treatments of a long-term warming experiment north of Flagstaff, Arizona. The panels are labeled in gray text, left to right: control, short-term warming, long-term warming. The control treatment, far left, depicts bacteria, protists, and other microorganisms identified by sequencing the soil’s metagenome in yellow, orange, green, and blue, along with chains of available nutrients. Soil depicted in the center panel, which has undergone short-term warming, shows an increased abundance and diversity of microbes, some of which are growing, incorporating nutrients, and respiring carbon dioxide. The soil that has undergone long-term warming, imagined in the panel on the right, shows fewer microbial species and competitive relationships that are developing for control of the scarcer nutrients.
