My name is Darian Smercina. I am a Linus Pauling Distinguished Postdoctoral Fellow at Pacific Northwest National Lab in the Earth and Biological Sciences Directorate. 
I am interested in soil microorganisms and how their interactions with their soil environment, plants, and each other drive broad ecological processes like the terrestrial nitrogen cycle.
