Microbial ecologists seek to understand how microbes drive and respond to the biogeochemical cycles that are essential for life on Earth.However,at this time it is only possible to make any concrete connections,identifications,or measurements about the abiotic flux of nutrients rather than the interactions between microbes that make these fluxes possible.

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The statement is false. Microbial ecologists study both abiotic and biotic interactions, including the interactions between microbes that play a role in biogeochemical cycles. While it can be challenging to measure these interactions, there are various tools and techniques available to investigate microbial communities and their roles in ecosystem processes.
