PhD student in microbial biogeochemistry @ Leibniz ZALF || researching methane dynamics of kettle holes || methanotrophs & methanogens enthusiast
Danica Kynast
The 2nd paper for my PhD is now published! Kettle holes are specific, but there are some horizon-based patterns of methane-cycling microbes, especially #methanogens and #methanoperedens.
Thanks to my coauthors from @zalf.bsky.social and @unibonn.bsky.social !

ending the year with my second paper submitted and being accepted for a presentation @vaam-microbes.bsky.social conference 2026. See you in March! 😀
By the way, my first paper is published! A huge thank you to everyone involved from ZALF and @igb-berlin.de !

great science, cool people, a beautiful city, and I won a poster prize - I had a awesome time at the @esmmicrobes.bsky.social conference!
🌱🦠 🐄 A study by ZALF and the universities Greifswald & Hohenheim shows that #grassland #soils that were previously intensively used have not yet restored their potential to absorb #methane after three years of extensive use. www.zalf.de/en/aktue...
