    Dr. Lifen Jiang got her Ph.D. in Botany. Her past research was to explore carbon cycle as affected by forest succession and plant invasion. Her current research interest includes ecosystem responses to global change and uncertainty in modeling ecosystem carbon dynamics and model evaluations and improvements. Meanwhile, she has been serving as a lab manager for many years.

    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.
