📢 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.

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

Working very hard on some new manuscripts. Its really a pleasure to see data come to life and tell stories.

We seek 2 post docs to join our group working on atmospheric methane removal (AMR) in trees. These exciting projects (👇🏼) seek to build on our recent @nature discovery of global AMR by trees. These projects combine flux msrmnts, global modelling & microbial ecology. Pls RT 🙏🏼

Hi. Since ‘new’ I should introduce myself. For work I explore the role of ecosystems in influencing Earth’s climate (past, present & future) through their regulation of GHG exchange, with methane a particular, but not exclusive interest. There’s more in my bio links. I’d welcome RTs! Thank you.

A study in Scientific Reports finds that both high fruit and high vegetable intake were associated with lower depressive symptoms in people over 45 years old. Only moderate vegetable intakes were associated with lower depressive symptoms. https://go.nature.com/3ZDOIGL 🧪

Here I am on @bsky.app inspired by others like my friend @kazmifa.bsky.social. Lets see how this one goes.
