A groundbreaking international study involving Aristotle University of Thessaloniki reveals the critical role of soil microbes in addressing climate change impacts. Published in the journal Nature, the research shows consistent microbial responses to extreme weather events, such as droughts and floods, highlighting the significance of these microorganisms in ecosystem functioning and carbon cycling. Key findings indicate the need for tailored management strategies specific to regional challenges, particularly for Mediterranean regions like Greece, where increased flood and heatwave frequency poses significant threats.
