428 Climatic Stress Effects on Microbial Communities and Agroecosysem Functioning

Oral Session
SSSA Division: Soil Biology & Biochemistry
This oral session will focus on the response of soil microbial communities to climatic stress, including high temperatures and drought and subsequent impact on agroecosystems. The session will also focus on management strategies to promote climate change adaptation and microbial community resiliency to sustain agroecosystem functioning.
