The National Ecological Observatory Network and Critical Zone Observatory network are National Science Foundation efforts to understand ecosystems around the country. Together they are generating a massive amount of high quality soil microbial community and biogeochemistry data. We have formed a group to begin to integrate these two different data sources and data types, in order to compare the microbially-mediated biogeochemical functions of the diversity of ecosystems across the US. We anticipate using this vast dataset to delve deeper into the connections between soil microorganisms and biogeochemical cycling.
