NewsGHG concentration and emissions vary seasonally and alongside human behaviors in estuaries
A new study suggests that industrial processes can be a major factor in the concentrations of methane and nitrous oxide in the the Pearl River Estuary and possibly other estuarine areas - but there are other influences.

NewsDeep-sea hydrothermal vent bacteria hold key to understanding nitrous oxide reduction
Scientists have unearthed a clue to the molecular mechanisms involved in N2O reduction by deep-sea hydrothermal vent bacteria.

NewsAdditive could help cut greenhouse gas emissions from silage fed to livestock
A study monitoring simulated silage from three key crops over four weeks revealed that all produced substantial amounts of N2O, indicating that forage conservation could be the third largest contributor to agricultural N2O emissions.

NewsSoil pH is driver of microbial community composition - and need to address toxicity shapes the community
Researchers have determined through both statistical analysis and in experiments that soil pH is a driver of microbial community composition – but the need to address toxicity released during nitrogen cycling ultimately shapes the final microbial community.
