Abstract

<p><span>A recent global study showed that there was a large discrepancy between air temperature and soil temperature with variances of up to 10 degrees depending on ground cover and soil moisture. Vegetation cover increases soil moisture and decreases soil temperature, and vegetation types have shown significant differences in their impact on soil respiration. Australian vegetation has evolved closely with the soil biota and the influence of these organisms likely has a strong role in dictating vegetation type. Exploring the correlation of vegetation and soil microbes under climate change would have two-way benefits. Identifying microbes which improve soil functionality under climate change could improve revegetation strategies. Understanding how vegetation cover might buffer the impacts of climate change on soil functionality could enable targeted management for facilitating ecosystem resilience and resistance to climate change.  </span></p>
