📢 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.

Nearly 9 months post-PhD, my final thesis article is out! We explored a novel link between birch stem #GHG fluxes and dissolved gas concentrations in birch sap, along with soil microbiome dynamics during a crucial yet overlooked season in a drained #peatland forest

Springtime soil and tree stem greenhouse gas fluxes and the related soil microbiome pattern in a drained peatland forest - Biogeochemistry
Spring can be a critical time of year for stem and soil methane (CH4), nitrous oxide (N2O) and carbon dioxide (CO2) emissions as soil freeze–thaw events can be hot moments of gas release. Greenhouse g...
