They are the most diverse and abundant organisms on th e planet\, and store the vast majority of global carbon\, nitrogen and p hosphorus. However\, microorganisms are rarely considered when predictin g large-scale global change scenarios\, effects of land-use change\, or trajectories for exotic species invasions. The results presented suggest that microorganisms can play a crucial role\, at the continental scale\ , in all these processes. The first example is from the Jasper Ridge Glo bal Change Experiment (JRGCE) which has manipulated multiple global chan ge factors for over a decade in a California grassland ecosystem. Our re sults suggest increased nitrogen deposition shifts the community of ammo nia-oxidizing Bacteria at the Genus and Family levels\, resulting in an overall shift in nitrification rate. The relationship of this rate to th e specific microbial community members is stronger than the relationship with overall ammonia-oxidizer abundance. This suggests that specific mi crobial species respond to anthropogenic influences in different ways\, which can result in large-scale shifts in function that can have ecosyst em-level impacts. The second example is from the preliminary data collec ted by the National Ecological Observatory Network (NEON) which is invol ved in a long-term monitoring project examining soil microbial communiti es from 20 biomes throughout the United States. These results indicate t hat similar microbial communities exist in drastically different ecotype s\, and that pH and soil moisture are the main abiotic factors driving B acterial and Fungal community structures. Similarly\, different ecotypes are dominated by different metabolic pathways\, which can be related to dominant microbial community members. These results suggest microbial c ommunities are distinct to a biome based on abiotic factors. As a result \, microbial communities may respond differently to anthropogenic influe nces based on these predictive abiotic factors\, and not geographic loca tion.
