Microbial ecology, a synergy between microbiology, ecology, and bioinformatics, has revealed an important role for host-microbe interactions as drivers of terrestrial ecosystem functions such as productivity and resilience. The objective of the CRC is to explore multi-domain host-microbe interactions in a context of (1) temporal variation of taxonomic and functional microbial community structure; (2) increasing abiotic stresses due to global change; and (3) development of microbial bio-control technologies (synthetic communities) as an alternative to chemicals. The CRC in Applied Microbial Ecology will both expand our mechanistic understanding of plant-microbe symbioses and improve technologies aimed at maintaining ecosystem productivity and resilience.

微生物生态学是微生物学、生态学和生物信息学之间的协同作用，揭示了宿主-微生物相互作用作为陆地生态系统功能（如生产力和恢复力）驱动因素的重要作用。CRC的目的是在以下背景下探索多域宿主-微生物相互作用：（1）分类和功能微生物群落结构的时间变化;（2）由于全球变化而增加的非生物胁迫;以及（3）开发微生物生物控制技术（合成群落）作为化学品的替代品。应用微生物生态学的CRC将扩大我们对植物-微生物共生的机械理解，并改进旨在保持生态系统生产力和恢复力的技术。
