How do microbial communities control the flow of energy and matter through ecosystems?
The Bier Lab works on this question by combining microbial ecology and biogeochemistry research. We study the microbial role in terrestrial-aquatic connections, aquatic and wetland ecosystem function, and the effects of disturbance on microbial community processes and composition.
We are located at Savannah River Ecology Laboratory which is a research unit of the University of Georgia and is located near Aiken, SC, USA.
