Global warming accelerates soil heterotrophic respiration!
Projections predict a global increase in heterotrophic respiration (40% in the worst case), with the Arctic experiencing more than two-fold. Glad to be part of this Swiss effort published in Nature Communications! See more here!
New publication
In our last release, we study how the internal heterogeneity of biofilms enhances fluid mixing and reactions and biologically driven reactions, e.g., bioaccumulation, within porous media. This is a manuscript from Ishaan Markale! This has been published in Environmental Science & Technology in collaboration with UC Davis and WSL!
