What is the legacy effect in microbes?

As COP-30 takes place in Brazil, scientists there detail what happened in the heart of the Amazon Basin in 2023. We hear how lake temperatures surged past 40 °C. Also, researchers in Kansas have been researching what is know as the legacy effect in microbes. They found microbes in soil were able to remember past drought and share properties with new plants to make them better equipped to survive similar conditions. 

All to discuss with Dr Ruth Freeman Director of Research for Society For Research Ireland on this week's 'Green Scene'
