📢 New paper alert! We explored N₂O fluxes in tropical cloud forests of Réunion Island. Soils emit negligible N₂O, and leaves & canopy soil have nirK and nosZ type denitrifiers. ☁️ The canopy #microbiome might help mitigate N₂O. Link: www.nature.com/articles/s41... #peatlandN2O #peatlands

Today, I presented a study based on GHG and related #microbiome in Réunion Island #peatland forests at the 12th #INTECOL Wetlands Conference, Tartu, #Estonia #peatlandN2O #erc @emlabtartu.bsky.social

📢 New paper alert. We explored CH₄ fluxes in tropical cloud forests on Réunion Island. 🌱 Peat soils = CH₄ sinks 🌳 Tree stems = mild CH₄ sinks 🍃 Leaves = potential methanogen hotspots! ☁️ Canopy microbiomes matter more than we thought. Link: environmentalmicrobiome.biomedcentral.com/articles/10....

Our paper regarding the springtime soil and tree stem GHG fluxes and related microbiome in a drained peatland forest is finally published in Biogeochemistry. Link: link.springer.com/article/10.1... #GHG #peatland #forests #microbiome #biogeochemistry

A river of science is flowing at #EGU25 💚🌏🏞️🪐

Global science is not going to end at the whims of some ideology. More than 17,000 Earth and space scientists are gathering at #EGU25, including many from the U.S. www.egu25.eu

Join me on my poster discussing microbial communities and methane dynamics in the tropical cloud forests. Hall X1.73 (14:00-15:45) today. Session BG3.37. @emlabtartu.bsky.social @egu.eu #EGU25 #peatlands #cloudforests #methaneemissions

Amazonian deforestation is making wet seasons wetter and dry seasons dryer, according to research in Nature. The analysis highlights the local and regional effects of removing trees from the tropical region. https://go.nature.com/41jCClO 🧪

Fertilized soils are a major source of N₂O, a potent greenhouse gas. Our latest study by @lkuusemets.bsky.social shows how nitrogen (N) fertilization rates, manure amendments, and crop types influence N₂O emissions and nitrogen use efficiency (NUE). soil.copernicus.org/articles/11/...

New research alert! Pristine peatlands act as carbon sinks but emit CH4, while disturbed ones release more CO2 & N2O. However, climate change is reshaping these ecosystems. 📖 Read the latest in New Phytologist! #ClimateChange #Peatlands #GHG #ÜloMander nph.onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1111/...
