Produktbeschreibung

Microbes and Climate reveals the unseen yet crucial role of microorganisms in Earth's climate system. Often overlooked, microbes significantly influence greenhouse gas emissions and carbon sequestration, impacting global climate patterns. For instance, methanogens, found in diverse environments, produce methane, a potent greenhouse gas. Conversely, phytoplankton in oceans absorb vast amounts of carbon dioxide through photosynthesis, helping regulate the carbon cycle and mitigate climate change.

The book synthesizes research from microbial ecology, biogeochemistry, and climate science, highlighting how understanding microbial processes is vital for accurate climate models and effective climate action. It explores the specific roles of methanogens and phytoplankton, along with other microbial players in the nitrogen cycle and soil carbon storage.

Later chapters examine implications for ecosystems and potential mitigation strategies, like optimized agricultural practices. This approach bridges the gap between microbial ecology and climate science, providing a holistic view of the dynamic interplay between the microscopic world and our planet's climate.
