10.1 Impact of climate change on microbial communities
4 min read•july 31, 2024
Climate change is shaking up microbial communities big time. As temperatures rise and weather patterns shift, microbes are facing new challenges in their habitats, from soil to oceans. These tiny organisms play huge roles in ecosystems, so their responses can create ripple effects.
Microbes are adapting fast, thanks to their quick life cycles and genetic flexibility. Some thrive in the new conditions, while others struggle. These shifts impact everything from nutrient cycling to disease spread, showing how microbial changes connect to larger environmental and health issues.
