Research Article | Ecological and Evolutionary ScienceExisting Climate Change Will Lead to Pronounced Shifts in the Diversity of Soil ProkaryotesThere have been many studies highlighting how plant and animal communities lag behind climate change, causing extinction and diversity debts that will slowly be paid as communities equilibrate. By virtue of their short generation times and dispersal abilities, soil bacteria might be expected to respond to climate change quickly and to be effectively in equilibrium with current climatic conditions. We found strong evidence to the...
