Nitrogen cycling genes abundance in soil and aboveground compartments of tropical peatland cloud forests and a wetland on Réunion Island - Scientific Reports Scientific Reports - Nitrogen cycling genes abundance in soil and aboveground compartments of tropical peatland cloud forests and a wetland on Réunion Island

📢 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.

Today, I presented a study based on GHG and related #microbiome in Réunion Island #peatland forests at the 12th #INTECOL Wetlands Conference, Tartu, #Estonia

Water is up in Congolese peat swamp forest, Epena, but hummocks are still relatively dry and aerobic. This might give a more varied response from carbon and nitrogen cycling than one might expect under a flood.
