Benjamin Carr, Ph.D. 👨🏻💻🧬Hidden #tree #bark #microbes munch on important #climate gases
Knowing these vast #microbiomes' preferences might help customize #reforestation plans
The #treebark microbes feast on #hydrogen, #methane and #carbonmonoxide. Methane is a #greenhousegas 28 times more potent than #carbondioxide over a 100-yr. Carbon monoxide — which is lethal to humans — and hydrogen enhance #globalwarming indirectly, by helping methane persist longer in atmosphere.
