Soil microorganisms are essential for maintaining ecosystem functionality, particularly through their role in the nitrogen (N) biogeochemical cycle. Thus, they also contribute to greenhouse gas emissions from soils. Microorganisms are sensitive indicators of soil health, as they respond rapidly to disturbances caused by factors like unsustainable agricultural practices or industrial activities, such as mining.

Rationale: The analysis of natural abundance isotopes in biogenic NO molecules provides valuable insights into the nature of their precursors and their role in biogeochemical cycles. However, current methodologies (for example, the isotopocule map approach) face limitations, as they only enable the estimation of combined contributions from multiple processes at once rather than discriminating individual sources. This study aimed to overcome this challenge by developing a novel methodology for the partitioning of NO sources in soil, combining natural abundance isotopes and the use of a N tracer (N Gas Flux method) in parallel incubations.

Tropical peatlands significantly influence local and global carbon and nitrogen cycles, yet they face growing pressure from anthropogenic activities. Land use changes, such as peatland forests conversion to oil palm plantations, affect the soil microbiome and greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions. However, the temporal dynamics of microbial community changes and their role as GHG indicators are not well understood.

Global fluvial ecosystems are important sources of greenhouse gases (CO, CH and NO) to the atmosphere, but their estimates are plagued by uncertainties due to unaccounted spatio-temporal variabilities in the fluxes. In this study, we tested the potential of modeling these variabilities using several machine learning models (ML) and three different input datasets (remotely sensed vegetation indices, in-situ water quality, and a combination of both) from 20 headwater catchments in Germany that differ in catchment land use and stream size. We also upscaled fluvial GHG fluxes for Germany using the best ML model and explored the role of catchment land use on the GHG spatial-temporal trends.

The role of sediment microbial communities in regulating the loss and retention of nutrients in aquatic ecosystems has been increasingly recognised. However, in the Great Lakes, where nutrient mitigation focuses on harmful algal blooms, there are limited studies examining the fundamental role of water/sediment microbes in nutrient biogeochemical cycling. Little is understood in this regard considering the increase in anthropogenic pressure on in-stream biological processes impacting nutrient flux to lakes.
