The environment in turn plays a large role in shaping the diversity of soil microbes by dictating the nutrients available for microbial metabolism, and microbes play a large role in shaping global environments through alteration of major nutrient and atmospheric cycles. In fact, microbes are responsible for much of the world?s available oxygen and biologically available nitrogen. Despite the environmental importance of microbes, ecological theory is largely absent from modern studies of soil microbes. Soil ecology largely focuses on mechanistic approaches to connect microbes to their environments, however these communities must be examined within an ecological context in order to understand and predict patterns of soil microbial community composition and ultimately community function.
