Vital signs in the low energy microbial world: linking physiology to ecosystem function

Presenter

Dr. Jacqueline Goordial
Bigelow Laboratory for Ocean Sciences
East Boothbay, Maine

Nitrous oxide (N₂O) emissions from inland waters remain a major source of uncertainty in global greenhouse gas budgets. In the paper published in the journal Global Change Biology a novel mechanistic modeling approach is presented to explicitly predict the N₂O production and emissions via nitrification and denitrification in rivers, reservoirs, and estuaries. The global inland water N₂O emissions estimated with this approach are 10-20 Gmol per year, with reservoirs releasing the most N₂O per unit surface area.
