Center for Volatile Interactions. DNRF Center of Excellence. Focus on production and consumption of biogenic volatiles in soil, water, cryptogams, plant-microbe interfaces.
New year, new schedule for our @voltcenter.bsky.social- all meetings!
We kickoff with a great presentation by Sana James on the dataset she has been working on: high monoterpenoid emissions from Scots pine litter controlled by moisture.

The peatland columns collected from #StoreMosseNationalPark are now hibernating through the dark winter in climate chambers 🌱❄️ Waiting for a new “spring” for us to explore their #VOCs and carbon cycle processes.

How do #soil #microbes respond to stress, and why does it matter for the climate? Meet Jonathan, an Assistant Professor at VOLT, exploring microbial communities and #VOCs through various methods, with a goal of improving #ecosystem and climate predictions.

🎄Early Christmas news! Chapter IV of my PhD thesis has been accepted for publication in @femsmicro.org Microbiology Ecology 🤘
We show how three Greenlandic bacteria shift their VOC profiles along a salt gradient.
