This project aims to determine key ecological and molecular mechanisms that regulate microbial colonisation of new environments and their functional consequences. Microbial communities are important yet unseen contributors to the functioning of ecosystems, driving key ecological and economically important processes such as carbon and nutrient cycling. The project will provide a unifying framework for characterising colonisation success of alien species across different scales, habitats, ecosystem types and environmental disturbance such as climate change.

该项目旨在确定调节新环境中微生物定植及其功能后果的关键生态和分子机制。微生物群落是生态系统功能的重要贡献者，但却不为人知，它们推动了重要的生态和经济过程，如碳和养分循环。该项目将提供一个统一的框架来描述外来物种在不同规模、栖息地、生态系统类型和气候变化等环境干扰下的殖民化成功。
