Microbial stoichiometry drives coupled carbon (C) and nitrogen (N) cycles at the ecosystem scale. For example, recent work suggests that labile C availability mediates N competition between heterotrophic soil microbes and autotrophic nitrifiers. The rate of nitrification as related to N mineralization affects ecosystem N losses via leaching and denitrification. In this workshop, we aim to explore how C and N availability influence interactions between microbial heterotrophs and autotrophs, and identify how these coupled relationships vary across ecosystems. The workshop will leverage data from C and N manipulation experiments across LTER sites and provide insight into the microbial processes that couple ecosystem C and N cycles.
