Summary
With support from the Carlsberg Foundation, we will acquire a portable FTIR-based instrument that provides real-time measurements of multiple ecosystem gases in both field and laboratory settings. This will allow us to quantify nitrogen fixation by moss-microbe associations and the release of climate-relevant gases from plants and soils, offering new insights into ecosystem-climate interactions.
