Yesterday, I spent my day in the lab sub-sampling fauna from shallow-water hydrothermal vents around 🇮🇸 for bulk d13C/ d15N analyses. Over the next couple of days, I'll continue in the lab preparing additional samples for bulk d2H analysis and next months, I'll start extracting fatty acids (PLFAs).

Actinobacteria, mycorrhizae, and the biology of soil aggregate stability
•Macroaggregate stability covaried most strongly with soil organic matter
•Actinobacteria moderately outperformed AMF as a predictor of soil macroaggregate stability
•Bacterial PLFAs more strongly covaried with stability than AMF in Appalachian pastures
•Penalized regression ranked bacterial groups as better predictors of stability over AMF
•Findings raise questions about long-held assumptions regarding AMF as primary soil stabilizers
