Analysis workflow This study was focused on the Canadian province of British Columbia, which covers 1 million km2, and has strong latitudinal, altitudinal, and longitudinal environmental gradients (from temperate rainforest to boreal forest, semi-desert, and dry grasslands). BC encompasses the most extensive undisturbed temperate rainforests, and some of the last free flowing rivers and intact […] More
Selective carbon sources influence the end products of nitrate respiration in microbial enrichment cultures To enrich for nitrate-respiring microbial communities from samples of aquatic sediment, agricultural soil, and groundwater, we inoculated them into a medium with 20 mM sodium nitrate as the electron acceptor and 2 g/L yeast extract as the carbon source and electron donor, and we […] More

Simulation overview All simulations take place in a one-dimensional circular array, occupied by a specified number of trees (n), each with a unique community of root-associated microbial pathogens and mutualists. We chose to conduct the simulations in one dimension to simplify interpretation, but we recognize that simulation dynamics likely progress more slowly than they would […] More
