Microbial communities support the health and function of individual organisms, all the way up to global biomes. Given rapidly changing global ecosystems, there is an urgent need to be able to predict what changes to microbial community structure mean for the emergent community function. The use of microbial functional traits presents an opportunity for describing microbial communities in terms of ecologically relevant and meaningful processes that can be embedded into quantitative and theoretical frameworks.
