Soil microbial communities play a critical role in nutrient transformation and storage in all ecosystems. Quantifying the seasonal and long-term temporal extent of genetic and functional variation of soil microorganisms in response to biotic and abiotic changes within and across ecosystems will inform our understanding of the effect of climate chan...
Many microbes cooperatively secrete extracellular products that favorably modify their environment. Consistent with social evolution theory, structured habitats play a role in maintaining these traits in microbial model systems, by localizing the benefits and separating strains that invest in these products from 'cheater' strains that benefit witho...
Much of the evolutionary ecology of toxic algal blooms (TABs) remains unclear, including the role of algal toxins in the adaptive ‘strategies’ of TAB-forming species. Most eukaryotic TABs are caused by mixotrophs that augment autotrophy with organic nutrient sources, including competing algae (intraguild predation). We leverage the standing diversi...
Restoration presents a global challenge in drylands (arid and semi‐arid ecosystems) where uses can range from exclusive conservation to open‐pit mining and restoration practices are constrained by scarce, unpredictable precipitation and high ambient temperatures. Adding woodchip amendments to soils is a common strategy for mitigating soil degradati...

Questions
Question (1)
Soil extracellular enzyme activity (EEA) data is typically reported as umol g-1h-1
Soil microbial biomass (SMB) via the common chloroform fumigation extraction method can be reported as any weight per weight, but typically mg/kg.
Is a unit conversion required? What are the units of specific EEA?
