Mary K. Firestone is a professor of soil microbiology in the Department of Environmental Studies, Policy, and Management at the University of California, Berkeley. She is also the Associate Dean of Instruction & Student Affairs at Berkeley...〔http://ourenvironment.berkeley.edu/people_profiles/mary-firestone/〕 Mary received her M.Sc. in microbiology in 1977 and her Ph.D. in soil microbiology at Michigan State University in 1979.〔http://ourenvironment.berkeley.edu/people_profiles/mary-firestone/〕 Mary became a Fellow of the Soil Science Society of America〔http://www.soils.org/〕 in 1995. Since then, she has received numerous honours and awards throughout her career, including the Emil Truog Soil Science Award,〔http://books.google.ca/books?id=ifrZTMAVCocC&pg=PA164&lpg=PA164&dq=emil+truog+soil+science+award+mary+firestone&source=bl&ots=UbNGUaGMz5&sig=YkQvTm62HB0UiuhhKmrRpl41b8k&hl=en&sa=X&ei=vi9BVNfWIuWHsQSRqIKQAg&ved=0CCYQ6AEwAA#v=onepage&q=emil%20truog%20soil%20science%20award%20mary%20firestone&f=false〕 and most recently, the Berkeley College of Natural Resources Career Achievement Award in 2013,〔http://nature.berkeley.edu/〕〔http://nature.berkeley.edu/blogs/news/2013/11/excellence_honored_with_cnr_ci.php〕〔http://www.cnr.berkeley.edu/soilmicro/〕 In addition to these awards, she was named Fellow of the American Academy of Microbiology in 2002,.〔http://accounts.asm.org/directory/academy/〕〔http://ourenvironment.berkeley.edu/people_profiles/mary-firestone/〕 Mary Firestone has published over 85 peer-reviewed articles which have been cited almost 4,000 times.〔http://apps.webofknowledge.com/CitationReport.do?product=UA&search_mode=CitationReport&SID=3F7ee9HjiJfQgCg6DMV&page=1&cr_pqid=2&viewType=summary〕 In addition, she has authored, co-authored and contributed to numerous book chapters, including “Root Interactions with Soil Microbial Communities and Processes” in The Rhizosphere: An Ecological Perspective (Z.G. Cardon and J.L. Whitbeck, Academic Press, 2007)〔http://www.amazon.ca/dp/0120887754/ref=rdr_ext_tmb〕 and “Mechanisms Determining Patterns of Nutrient Dynamics” (with Valerie T. Eviner) in California Grasslands: Ecology and Management (M.R. Stromberg, J.D. Corbin, and C. M. D’Antonion).〔http://www.amazon.ca/California-Grasslands-Management-Mark-Stromberg/dp/0520252209〕 == Research focus == Her lab’s interests include studying how carbon and nitrogen are processed in ecosystems. In particular, her lab is interested in understanding carbon and nitrogen interactions between roots and soil microbes. She is also interested in understanding how the structure of soil microbial communities controls nitrogen and carbon transformations such as nitrification, denitrification, and mineralization〔http://ourenvironment.berkeley.edu/people_profiles/mary-firestone/〕 She is also interested in understanding the biophysical properties and mechanisms of bacteria and plant interactions in soil environments and examining how the physical characteristics of soil matrices affect the growth and activity of soil microbes〔http://ourenvironment.berkeley.edu/people_profiles/mary-firestone/〕 Her work has broad ranging applications, most notably to questions concerning the role of soil microbes in mediating terrestrial ecosystem response to global change. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Mary K.
