Some bacteria only have a partial denitrification pathway, a form of anaerobic respiration. However, the last step that converts N2O greenhouse gas into N2 is activated by denitrification intermediates that those bacteria cannot respire. biorxiv.org/content/10.110…

Alterations in nutrient conditions in boreal forests affect not only tree growth but also fungal communities associated with tree roots, with implications for #CarbonSequestration, according to a study. In PNAS: ow.ly/xvXT50JGPMa

Another PSA for my #microbiome #ecology #rstats folks: PERMANOVA assumes homogeneity of "group" dispersion, check that assumption w/ vegan::betadisper, though, make sure your variable is not continuous, otherwise it silently converts numbers to factors and that gets messy! 1/2

Irshad Ul Haq Jonathan Schilling Sad to see a big old oak come down on campus, as @cea_tweets indicates, this tree had advanced pocket rot and some fruiting bodies inside the hollow show Xylobolus frustulatus is the cause. Also another white rot present in the outer sapwood likely caused by Ganoderma applanatum.
