1/5) Super excited to share our new #Preprint 🚨! Here we coupled genome-resolved #Metagenomics with #Biogeochemical fluxes to show that tree barks contain active microbial communities that cycle climate-active gases including CH₄, H₂, CO and VOCs 🦠🌱biorxiv.org/content/10.110…
Check out our new paper in @STOTEN_journal🚨#Groundwater discharge and bank overtopping drive large #Carbon exports from Indian Sundarban #Mangroves 🌱🇮🇳sciencedirect.com/science/articl…
Another top day in the #Rainforest wrapping up a long term study of tree #Methane cycling for Johanness’ #PhD
Our terrestrial #biogeochemistry research team in action yesterday investigating #GHG, #nutrient and #carbon fluxes in tropical wetland forests in the Northern Territory. #treethane
Accelerated carbon return to agricultural peatlands through biochar addition - suppresses methane emissions and kicks off net GHG removal (with increased water level and added SO4). Excited to see this work from @UK_CEH

A new paper by Amaral et al., showing that #TreeStem #Methane fluxes exceeds #Ebullition and #Diffusive flux pathway from innundated #Amazonian #Wetland #Forests tandfonline.com/doi/full/10.10…
Thrilled to see the first paper from my postdoc online! Here was asked a simple question: what happens to methane in canals draining tropical peatlands? Turns out, lots of it is consumed by methanotrophs! @stanforddoerr @ykan_id @UntanPontianak nature.com/articles/s4146…
So excited to see this out! Aerated environments can be major sources of methane. This is due to the activities of aerotolerant methanogens. In the process, we show unexpected feedbacks between pollution and climate change. @ning_hall @MBiogeochem biorxiv.org/content/10.110…
🌱 Interested in methane fluxes in trees? 🌳 @barbajosep and I have an exciting project at CREAF (Barcelona) and are looking for a PhD candidate to collaborate with us. Apply for an FPU fellowship to join. DM for details! #PhD #Ecology #Methane #FPU #Barcelona #CREAF
