Our work on the role of photosynthetic microbes in #peatland carbon dynamics, and the effects of warming now in @natclimchange.bsky.social. Warming amplifies microbial photosynthesis, and offsets ~14% of heterotrophic CO₂ emissions in northern #peatlands. rdcu.be/eejri @ribesresearch.bsky.social

Microbial photosynthesis mitigates carbon loss from northern peatlands under warming

Nature Climate Change - The authors use experimental and modelling approaches to understand the response of microbial photosynthesis to peatland warming. They show that warming amplifies microbial...

Ha Mike, weird but now you can send your work to a decent journal. Have you considered Wetlands Ecology and Management?

Yesterday, @rosacatharina.bsky.social spoke at the new year's reception of #SoilValley. She highlighted the importance of management choices to support the transition to a more sustainable, low input, agricultural system. We have to, and can, make bold choices that will help us #bend_the_curve

Today, we have a 'bog pressure coocker' on linking our science to arts in a story telling setting w. @sisselmarie.bsky.social and Katpatat. Real fun and super interesting.

I will match @peatofmind.bsky.social generous donation to the @peatlandecr.bsky.social with a comparable amount in € (350). I challenge other peatlanders with means to do the same. We all know how hard it can be as an ECR and we as a community can support the next generation.

Fen-tastic!!! 🎉

We are honored and grateful to receive the #NobelPeatPrize once again 🏆 It's been a pleasure to provide some support to #PeatECR for another year!

📣 We are looking for new faces to continue this work in the future.

Thank you to all the peatfolks out there supporting us! 🙏 #PeatSky

I’m pleased to announce the winner of our first 2024 Nobel Peat Prize!

@peatlandecr.bsky.social wins for top peatland outreach/network organization!

I will donate $500 ($1/Gt C stored in northern peatlands) to their PEAT NEEDS fund.

Another #NobelPeatPrize winner announced next Thursday.

Last month I met several peat researchers while I was in The Netherlands.

@unpeatable.bsky.social (in photo) and I met and we decided to encourage other peatland researchers that have the financial means to match this donation so @peatlandecr.bsky.social can expand PEAT NEEDS funding.

Indeed. Took a break from X more than two years, but really enjoy this. Still waiting for the wetland focussed people, but I have good hopes that this will be a great and decent alternative to X with lively academic feeds.
