Are trees a climate catch 22? Leaves remove CO2 from the atmosphere, but their stems emit the potent greenhouse gas methane...unless bacteria consume it first

In a world-first, published in @NatureComms, #SouthernCrossUniversity researchers reveal the unique, methane-eating microbial communities living in the bark of a common Australian tree species, the paperbark.

Submitted my Ph. D. thesis. A big thanks goes to everyone who supported me during the last three years. Now I am looking for postdocs in Europe.

@MikePeacock86 @KostenSarian @GauciGauci @CathLovelock @a_veraart @UK_CEH Very nice paper Mike! Would be interesting to know how much ebullition is unaccounted for, and therefore by how much are these emissions underestimated. Maybe that's in the SI but cant see that online. Great to see this work out there, I am sure it will gain a bunch of attention

Happy to share our new paper on antimony interactions with manganese oxides by @nkarimia @ScottJoh_dirtDr and myself in the Journal of Hazardous Materials (https://t.co/UIt7IEKGrn). Thanks to @arc_gov_au & @GeoloJess_ + Peter Kappen at @ausynchrotron. @SCUonline @SCGeoscience

[Ed Burton @BurtonEd]

Our new paper shows that agricultural drainage has increased REE leaching from acid sulfate soils under farmlands in Finland, leading to REE enrichment in estuarine sediments mainly via sorption to clay minerals (https://t.co/KtGWMDDujb). @SCUonline @SCGeoscience @ResearchSCU

[Ed Burton @BurtonEd]

How will climate change impact arsenic & antimony mobility in rivers? Our new paper from @ScottJoh_dirtDr @nkarimia and myself in Water Resources Research provides new clues (check it out at https://t.co/1ipkZELq3M). @SCUonline @ResearchSCU @SCGeoscience #mining #geochemistry

Great to see this final paper of twitterless James Sippo's PhD out in @EGU_BioGeo. Combining dendochronology and sediment geochemistry to unravel impacts of mangrove dieback on iron. Great collaboration with @ANSTO research funded by @arc_gov_au
