Experimental warming leads to convergent succession of grassland archaeal community

Nature Climate Change, Published online: 04 May 2023; doi:10.1038/s41558-023-01664-x

The authors investigate the response of Archaea to experimental warming in a tallgrass prairie ecosystem. Warming was linked to reduced diversity and convergent succession, with further links to changed ecosystem function. Stochastic processes dominated community changes but decreased over time.
