We just finished up an interesting fieldtrip in the peatlands of the World Heritage-listed Central Plateau in Tasmania for Rory Ferguson's PhD project which will look at the effects of fire and climate change on these environmentally important landscapes

Reforestation practices have varied the resilience of nosZ-type denitrifier communities: A 40-year soil chronosequence study Forested areas that have been subject to clearing are known to have increased nitrous oxide (N2O) emission. This may be due to reductions in populatio…

Our latest paper shows that land use change and recovery shape microbial resilience and nitrous oxide emissions. Soil degradation and recovery are tied to global climate cycles—land management matters. 🌱🌍🌳

Sulfur Regulation on Microbial Biodiversity in a Montane Peatland Peatlands occur globally, and peat's microbial biodiversity is dominated by nutrient cycling. Peat soils derive acidity through carbon cycling, and the role of sulfur-utilising bacteria is less under....
