With the start of 21st century, climate change has caught attention of the world due to an increase in natural calamities, all of which have been attributed to climate change either directly or indirectly. There lies too much uncertainty in the possible role of soil in climate feedback, which on finer scale is regulated by microbes. With large body of literature available for the effect of climate change on soil carbon and microbes, there is still uncertainty on how soil microbial community is going to behave under projected climate change and change in land-use patterns. This has been further complicated by the heterogeneity of microbial community among ecosystems and different land-use. The proposed study would try to address various pathways and mechanism through which microbes function under different land use scenario and a glance into the possibility of microbes shaping the ecosystem in the wake of future
climate projections.
