Soil ecosystems are believed to be the most dominant sources of global nitrous oxide emissions. However, mitigations of nitrous oxide are strongly hindered by lack of knowledge on microbial mechanisms underpinning its production. This project aims to integrate a range of advanced approaches to identify the key nitrogen cycling genes as best predictors of nitrous oxide in field studies, to disentangle relative contribution of microbial pathways to nitrous oxide in glasshouse and microcosm studies, and to validate these findings across various land-use types in Australia and China. This will provide a critical framework incorporating microbial data into the nitrous oxide prediction models for better mitigation of greenhouse gas emissions.

土壤生态系统被认为是全球一氧化二氮排放的最主要来源。然而，由于缺乏对一氧化二氮产生的微生物机制的了解，一氧化二氮的减排受到严重阻碍。该项目旨在整合一系列先进方法，以确定关键的氮循环基因作为现场研究中一氧化二氮的最佳预测因子，理清温室和微观世界研究中微生物途径对一氧化二氮的相对贡献，并在不同的研究中验证这些发现。澳大利亚和中国的土地利用类型。这将为将微生物数据纳入一氧化二氮预测模型提供一个关键框架，以更好地减少温室气体排放。
