Ongoing climate warming is thawing global permafrost, making vast pools of organic carbon available as microbial growth substrates. Uncertainty surrounding microbial successional dynamics limits our ability to parameterize the global-scale biogeochemical consequences of this thawing permafrost. We developed a genomic index of growth optimization to predict whether individual taxa increase or decrease in abundance during early thaw and validate our approach using incubation experiments from permafrost collected in Interior Alaska.

"Similar papers" are the closest papers from that journal in the model's embedding space. They show what the match is built on, but the ranking comes mostly from a classifier over the whole training set, not from these examples alone.
