This data set provides the 16S microbial community composition of peat and sand ingrowth cores via DNA and cDNA sequence analysis before and during Deep Peat Heating (DPH) and Whole Ecosystem Warming (WEW) for 2015-2016 from the Spruce and Peatlands Under Changing Environments (SPRUCE). Samples were...
This data set provides the ingrowth peat microbial biomass carbon (MBC) and nitrogen (MBN), extractable organic carbon (EOC) and extractable nitrogen (EN) for Deep Peat Heating (DPH) and Whole Ecosystem Warming (WEW) for 2015-2016 from the Spruce and Peatland Responses Under Changing Environments...
This data set provides ITS fungal community composition via DNA sequence analysis at the time of peat coring at the South End bog in 2013. These samples were collected outside the experimental enclosures and are pre-treatment with no experimental manipulation. These are part of the Spruce and...
This data set provides the ingrowth peat extracellular enzyme potential (EE) for before and during Deep Peat Heating (DPH) and Whole Ecosystem Warming (WEW) for 2015-2016 from the Spruce and Peatlands Under Changing Environments (SPRUCE). EE potential was quantified and calculated following a...

"Moisture modulates soil reservoirs of active DNA and RNA viruses" Soil is known to harbor viruses, but the majority are uncharacterized and their responses to environmental changes are unknown. Here, we used a multi-omics approach (metagenomics, metatranscriptomics and metaproteomics) to detect...
Two factors that are well-known to influence soil microbiomes are the depth of the soil as well as the level of moisture. Previous works have demonstrated that climate change will increase the incidence of drought in soils, but it is unknown how fluctuations in moisture availability affect soil...
A major challenge in biotechnology and biomanufacturing is the identification of a set of biomarkers for perturbations and metabolites of interest. Here, we develop a data-driven, transcriptome-wide approach to rank perturbation-inducible genes from time-series RNA sequencing data for the discovery...
Agriculture is the largest source of greenhouse gases (GHG) production. Conversion of nitrogen fertilizers into more reduced forms by microbes through a process known as biological nitrification drives GHG production, enhances proliferation of toxic algal blooms, and increases cost of crop...
The rhizosphere represents a dynamic and complex interface between plant hosts and the microbial community found in the surrounding soil. While it is recognized that manipulating the rhizosphere has the potential to improve plant fitness and health, engineering the rhizosphere microbiome through...
Metabolite exchange between plant roots and their associated rhizosphere microbiomes underpins plant growth promotion by microbes. Sorghum bicolor is a cereal crop that feeds animals and humans and is used for bioethanol production. Its root tips exude large amounts of a lipophilic benzoquinone...
The Sequel II System Sequencer is a high-throughput DNA sequencer machine developed and manufactured by PacBio , and is designed for high throughput, production-scale sequencing laboratories. Originally released in 2015, the Sequel system provides Single Molecule, Real-Time (SMRT) sequencing core...
Short Biography Caroline (Carrie) Harwood received her Ph.D. in microbiology from the University of Massachusetts and completed postdoctoral work at Yale University. She held academic appointments at Cornell University and the University of Iowa before moving to the University of Washington in 2005...
