PhD student in microbial biogeochemistry @ Leibniz ZALF || researching methane dynamics of kettle holes || methanotrophs & methanogens enthusiast
The 2nd paper for my PhD is now published! Kettle holes are specific, but there are some horizon-based patterns of methane-cycling microbes, especially #methanogens and #methanoperedens.
Thanks to my coauthors from @zalf.bsky.social and @unibonn.bsky.social !

Methanotrophs and methanogens are differently affected by small-scale heterogeneities in transiently flooded kettle holes
Kettle holes are small depressions, frequently surrounded by agricultural fields and often classified as wetlands. Kettle holes can emit substantial a…

🌱🦠 🐄 A study by ZALF and the universities Greifswald & Hohenheim shows that #grassland #soils that were previously intensively used have not yet restored their potential to absorb #methane after three years of extensive use. www.zalf.de/en/aktue...

Ackerbau auf Schwamm: Wie es mit der Wiedervernässung in Paulinenaue im Havelland vorangeht
Moor ist ein regelrechter CO₂-Sauger. Ein Besuch in Paulinenaue im Havelland, wo Forscher das Wasser steigen lassen und Landwirte ausprobieren, was dann noch wächst.

throwback to the last sampling campaign of this year and possibly my entire PhD time. Still can't quite believe it! #kettlehole
