Abstract
Trait-based microbial biogeography provides a path for the mechanistic understanding of relationships between microbialdiversity and ecosystem functioning. In this mini-review, we identify the scenarios in which to use traits to characterize themicrobial community and propose a simple trait-based conceptual framework to link microbial communities withecosystem functions.
