Climate change can also exacerbate infectious diseases caused by microbes. This chapter provides some examples of how the varied physical impacts of climate change modulate the roles of microbes play in the health of humans, animals, and plants.The Impacts of Climate Change...
Mighty microbes — the invisible forces that can save the world A call to arms argues that emerging microbial technologies can not only improve planetary health and preserve biodiversity — but also be the cornerstone of a thriving economy. ...
Effects of microbial communities on the carbon and nitrogen cycles are particularly important for climate gases. These biogeochemical cycles are significantly impacted by global climate change and microbes may respond by accelerating or alleviating human-caused change. Understanding microbial ecology in the ...
These three works show just a fraction of the roles and responses of microbes in the context of climate change. Recent years and technological advances have seen increased understanding of how terrestrial and aquatic microorganisms produce and sequester greenhouse gases, as well as how warming will i...
“Working to understand microbes and ecosystems in the lush and magnificent Amazon rainforest is the honor of my life, which I aim to use in the protection of this region in the fight against climate change,” Cadillo-Quiroz says.

While many other processes and microbes are involved in the process of marine carbon sequestration, including phytoplankton, Prorocentrum cf. balticum has unique resistance to acidification and warming of the ocean. Lead author on the study and marine biologist from UTS, Michaela Larsson, told Xinhua...
Jennifer Doudna, one of the inventors of the breakthrough gene-editing tool CRISPR, says the technology will help the world grapple with the growing risks of climate change by delivering crops and animals better suited to hotter, drier, wetter, or weirder conditions. ...
now we’re seeing Candida auris and some of the other new microbes that have come up that really grow quite well – even at temperatures of 98.6 in the human body. And so I think climate change, really selecting for these organisms to adapt to a warmer climate, is going to increase the...
