Talk Description

Underground microbial communities are fundamental to life on Earth. Quietly
below the forest floor, these microbial communities act as ecosystem
engineers, controlling nutrient availability and carbon storage in forests.
What is more, plants are never found in nature without their microbiomes
and these communities can play critical roles in plant physiology and
function. Just as human microbiomes have revolutionized our understanding
of human health, forest microbiomes represent a critical axis of forest
health, especially in a changing climate. In this talk, Dr. Claire Willing
will highlight some of her research investigating how these cryptic forest
microbiomes are impacted by global change and what shifts in forest
microbiome communities could mean for forests in a changing climate.

Bio

Dr. Claire Willing’s research is broadly focused on forest microbiomes and
climate change. She is currently a postdoctoral researcher in the
Department of Biology at Stanford University. Previously, she completed her
Ph.D. at the University of California, Berkeley in Environmental Science,
Policy, and Management. Her research seeks to understand how global change
influences patterns of microbial community composition in forests and the
functional consequences for forest health. Using interdisciplinary
approaches, including molecular tools, ecological theory, and techniques in
plant ecophysiology and stable isotope ecology, the goal of Claire’s
research program is to elucidate the importance of microbial communities in
the resistance and resilience of forested ecosystems to global change.
