  Ecosystem photosynthesis inferred from measurements of carbonyl sulphide flux

  Carbonyl sulphide is taken up by plants, and could potentially serve as a powerful proxy for photosynthetic carbon dioxide uptake. Field measurements in Israel suggest that carbonyl sulphide fluxes provide an independent constraint on indirect estimates of ecosystem photosynthesis.

  Global prevalence of methane oxidation by symbiotic bacteria in peat-moss ecosystems

  The degradation of submerged Sphagnum mosses generates significant quantities of methane in peat bogs. A global survey of these mosses reveals the presence of an active population of methane-oxidizing bacteria.
