2 Motivation Science, 2008 Bardgett et al., 2008

3 This report is based on a colloquium convened by the American Academy of Microbiology, February 21-23, 2011, in Dallas, TX

4 How to incorporate microbial processes and which mechanisms?

5 Microbial Mechanisms Contributing to the Climate System Trace Gases Nutrient Regulation Background map is the carbon density in global soil microbial biomass Xu et al., 2013 Global Ecology and Biogeography

6 CLM-Microbe: Key components Microbial biomass Trace gas model Microbial regulation of nutrient (primarily N at current stage)

19 Microbial Regulation of Nitrogen Cycling in Soils

20 Manzoni et al., 2008

21 CO 2 CO 2 CUE=0.4 Microbe C:N = 8 CUE=0.3 Microbe C:N = 8 40C : 1N 1N 40C : 1N 0.5N Organic Matter Mineral N Organic Matter Mineral N Fixed microbial regulation on N immobilization Dynamic microbial regulation on N immobilization

23 Mineral N (Dynamics microbial CUE fix microbial CUE) More mineral N in soils NPP (Dynamics microbial CUE fix microbial CUE) Better vegetation growth

24 Summary Microbial mechanisms for trace gas fluxes and nutrient cycling in soils are critically important. CLM-Microbe is able to simulate soil microbial biomass dynamics, trace gas fluxes, and microbial regulation of nitrogen cycling in soils.
