Aya Permin: Bryophyte-associated nitrogen fixation in a tropical mountain cloud forest—rates and responses to climate change

In this new post, Aya Permin, a new ecological researcher at the University of Copenhagen, Denmark, discusses her paper—High nitrogen-fixing rates associated with ground-covering mosses in a tropical mountain cloud forest will decrease drastically in a future climate—which has won the 2022 Haldane Prize for Early Career Researchers! About the paper Bryophytes (mosses, hornworts, and liverworts) are known to host nitrogen (N2)-fixing bacteria. These bacteria … Continue reading Aya Permin: Bryophyte-associated nitrogen fixation in a tropical mountain cloud forest—rates and responses to climate change
