Soil bacteria often take 50 years or more to react to changes in climate.Soil bacteria respond dramatically to changes in climate.The findings suggest that today's climate conditions will continue to cause upheaval in the soil for decades.
Soil bacteria don't always reproduce that fast. At any given time, a large fraction of them are dormant.
More importantly, climate can affect soil bacteria indirectly, through slow-changing conditions such as soil acidity.
If the microbes could catch up with contemporary climate, there can be a widespread increase in microbial diversity.
