To accomplish these goals, this SFA integrates a team of experts in biogeochemistry and ecosystem</span></span><br><span style="background-color:rgb(255,255,255); color:rgb(74,74,74); font-family:"Avenir Next", Avenir, "Helvetica Neue", sans-serif; font-size:16px;"><span style="display:inline !important; float:none; font-style:normal; font-variant-caps:normal; font-variant-ligatures:normal; font-weight:400; letter-spacing:normal; text-align:start; text-decoration-color:initial; text-decoration-style:initial; text-indent:0px; text-transform:none; word-spacing:0px;">ecology, microbial ecology and genomics, geochemistry, and ecosystem modeling.</span></span></p>
