    gasses are contributing to climate change and causing many systems of the Earth to change, specifically the soil. Soil is home to a wide range of microbes that play an important role in soil structure formation and the carbon cycle. With warming of the soil, microbes are decomposing organic matter more rapidly and as a result, are releasing more carbon dioxide into the atmosphere, creating a positive feedback loop. The microbes in soil are also changing because of climate change and they are changing
